i want all your opinion on something...

i got dual P3 800s, 3 HDs, dvd, cd-rw, and a GF2 GTS. I'm trying to make my computer a lot quiter cause its right next to my bed.

Right now i'm thinking of replacing my front intake w/ a 120mm fan that is only around 30dB... i think i also have room for atleast a 92 and maybe a 120 in the rear, but what i do with that depends on what i do with my heatsinks
I got tiny little Taisol's w/ my board and i'm thinking about replacing them with a pair of Swiftech MC370-0A.... since i'm more concerned about noise rather than temp, would it be possible to use those without fans on them and just have a big 120 on the rear or side blowing right across them (maybe with a little ducting to help out)

lastly... do you guys know any place that sells all that stuff AND dynamat at a reasonable price??

ehhh... I don't know tooo much about intel... but I'm guessing socket. get a low flow 80mm fan (sunnon or panaflo) and slap the thing on there. I've got a intel coppermin 1.0 slot that I superglues two 80mm sunnons on the retail heatsink, works fine for me.

The MC370 only accepts 60mm fans. You could jerry rig a 80mm on there... but why? I think you could get away with a slower RPM 60mm fan on there, like the PAnaflo L1. As long as there is good airflow going through there. I dont know of any of the computer specialty shops that carry our stuff and sound dampening material.
