Fan that will perform the same or better but QUIETER?

[OverDose]

I'm running an AthlonXP 1600+ with a Thermaltake 6CU+ w/ 7000rpm fan right now, idle temp is 36.9c, full load is 39-40c

anything comparible that will be quieter yet yield the same or better results?

NoiseControl Silverado, or the Alpha PAL8045 HS with a decent cooling/noise ratio fan... the PAL8045 is sold with many fans some that can combine excellent cooling while managing very little noise.

any recommendations on what fan to slap on a Alpha PAL8045?
something quiet or semi-quiet?
for a XP1800+

I'm not sure, but AT did a piece on the PAL8045 and had some comments on various fans here
