It looks like only thing in stock for socket A is Vantec Socket A Cooler... I'm trying to run this on a 1.1Ghz Thurnderbird... Anybody got experience with this cooler? Let me know.
 
i've got one. Replaced my coolermaster dp5-g11 with it. I've got a tbird 800 in a microATX case (yes microATX , one intake fan thats it). At 800mhz with the coolermaster i was doing 52C with rc5 running for 3 hours. With this its down to 49C after 3 hours. The vantec only has a 23cfm sunon (pretty quiet). Whats good about it is its a 60x60x40 mm^3 heatsink so you can screw other fans on it, i've got a 38cfm delta, and with that it should be pretty good. The vantec for $16 + $3.55 shipping from 2cooltek is good.
 
Hey hans is the 145/150watt power supply good enough in those mATX cases or did you have to upgrade?

mATX looks awesome but I am concerned about the power issues.

well some micro atx cases can't take a regular atx power supply (a micro atx supply is a lot shorter). The invin v500 does, so i put an antec 300watt in it. I stuck the 145 watt in another system, and its voltages weren't all that great. AMD's list says that the durons can run on 145 watts , but i wouldn't personally do that, especially with a voodoo5 or something
