Someone in this group gave me the name of a Co. on the web that specialized
in quiet cooling for P.C's. The heatsink on the fan I bought was massive
and was cast rather than a slice off an aluminum extrusion, this allowed for
better design with more sharp edges, another important factor in heat
dissipation. The fan on the heat sink was very quiet as was the transformer
fan I also bought there. Wish I could remember the name of the outfit
(I will try to find out if you wish). This outfit did not sell "coolers"
in the belief that the local separation into hot and cold was energy
intensive and in the long run just created more heat inside the PC that would
eventualy have to be removed from the P.C via a fan.
