Hardware That Runs Cool

[sirspotti]

Looking to build a new rig that produces as little heat as possible. Does anyone know where I can find comparisons on this sort of thing? Mainly I need to decide on a CPU (XPmobile or Duron), a hsf, and HDD (leaning towards an external drive). Quiet would also be a plus.

Try Silent PC Review's recommended CPU page.

Pretty comprehensive list and ratings.

AthlonXP mobile would be a good idea. Heck, you could even underclock it a bit if you want.
