| Vantec Aeroflow, great performance, nice and quiet... They also have a new one out, the AeroFlow 2. I haven't had experience with that one, so I can't comment on the cooler, but I would just search for "vantec aeroflow review" or "vantec aeroflow 2 review" and read some of the ones you find.

Use an SLK heatsink mated to an 80mm variable speed manually controlled fan... ecxellent heatsink and can be as quiet or cool as you need

If your not gonna overclock, you can go with a passive heat sink, and a case fan to circulate air.

I have used it in a Chieftec case, with just the side panel fan, and dual fan power supply.
My little Shuttle system just used one fan. Actually, the side panel cycles on and off at 40C with this setup.

davidamarkley,
The best one I could find there was MN FCE-5026N, Noise Level(dBA) - 30.5. Thanks for the link.

DallasDon,
Is your case fan mounted on a angle towards the cpu, looks a little blurry in the picture. As far as overclocking one never knows.
Thanks
