Quiet and relatively cheap HSF for Conroe

Bought a E6400 and the stock HSF is loud. I am not planning to overclock, so I was looking for a HSF that was quieter but cooled just as well, if not better than stock. I also dont want to spend more than $30 shipped....

Thanks for any advice
 
It's $21 shipped to me, probably the best value among heatsinks.
Not of the tower coolers are really pretty, the tuniq tower and scythe mine have wavy fins, but that's it.
If you want bling, get a zalman 9500 led or thermaltake blue orb.

Yes it will be near silent most of the time.

EDIT: Do not treat the fan in a rough manner because it's shaft is made of ceramic and as such is quite brittle.
Not a big worry, just use some care.
