That box comes with a slim fan for you to use if you want.

passive cooling is also known as just having a bare heatsink with no fan.

the sink is what im more concerned about.. do you have to have a special sink to use passive? also.. where could i get a c3 933?

According to this thread here, you can't get the fast Via chips in the US at the moment.

Passive HS's work just great on the C3's which are only consuming around 6 to 11 watts, as compared to most other fire-breathing monsters of 60 watts and above that require howling fans to keep from self-destruction!.
