[olug] quiet PC - how to do this?

[neal rauhauser]

 Someone mentioned the Zalman 6000 as a passive heatsink that could
handle my AMD Socket A 850 MHz - I tracked this thing down on
sharkacorp.com's web site. I also picked up a Zalman 300 watt power
supply and a Vantec Vortex drive cooling 5.25" enclosure with anti
vibration mounts.

 The Zalman 6000 comes with a cooling fan as well as a one pound heat
sink. If I'm reading the docs right a 1.4 GHz Athlon can be handled with
just the heat sink, so I think I'm good to go with my 850 and no fan.
