[olug] quiet PC - how to do this?

[Tim - DZ]

Sounds about right.  The thing is a monster.  It's way heavier than the max
recommended by AMD / Intel...so there is a disclaimer in the box about not
ever carrying around your PC anymore or something like that.  Just the shear
size may make it hard for many people to fit the heatsink in their cases
though...

 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.
