    AMD Athlon 1.3GHz, mATX board, no mounting holes (so no Alpha), not a ton of space for mounting (desktop case)

    was looking at the smaller Alpha (6035) with a decent 60mm fan, the Swiftech MCXC370 with something besides the Delta, TT Volcano 7 with the temp controlled fan

    any others? teh swiftech seems expensive to me, but i've heard good things about them

    If you don't intend to OC much and want a cheap hsf, the Taisol 760 is pretty good :)

    Just the knowledge that it could break off is enough for me not to want it. Admit it, you must hit your comp once in a great while. Imagine smacking it and the hsf falls off =\

    Heh, I would probably hit it whenever something was being stupid =\

    (The best way to show a program or hardware it is being dumb is by being a moron yourself)

    as far as its concerned... the only hardware that would be a problem would be sound & video, have a nic in it for purpose of interfacing & remote access (i love XP)... its going to be an expensive part of my hi-fi... going to use it as MP3/divx/extra dvd player
