Same thing, 456th time

Better don't use both... it will only give chance for more problems. I think that corrosion stuff is something like WaterWetter... so you don't need to mix them as they do the same things.

My PC eats so much money that I'm in 'desperate' need of it to buy PC3500 RAM, help Svol with his OC project!

Yeah yeah, I can imaging this is getting redundant, sorry, but this is the best place to go. I am building myself a whole new computer (oh boy) and I need help with cooling. (you would of never guessed) I am going the ultra silent aproach through air cooling.

By the way, I am purchasing an Antec true power, Asus A7N8X, 2 sticks 256mb OCZ pc3500, and an athlon 2100 and Codegen 6066

First off I need help on how to set up the fans on my case. <A HREF="http://www.dealsonic.com/cod6066caatx.html" target="_new"> The case has 2 front, 3 side, a back and a top. </A> <b>1 </b>How should I set up these? (I was thinking of making the top exhust, the rest in.) I am planning to use either the vantec stealth fans or panaflos (<b>2 </b>Which do you perfer?)

Second, what combo HS and fan should I get. I dont plan on heavy overclocking, but the thought has crossed my mind. I will be occasionally moving my case, so a good mounting would be beneficial. Some say stay with stock, but whats the fun in that. I have also seen the Volcano 9 for only 19 bucks (always a plus - low cost) and I can tune it down. I have also thought of the combo deal with an Swiftech MCX462+ or Alpha PAL8045T with one of those case fans I mention earlier. I have been reading the posts, and the 800 sound really nice, but is mounted bad, and hard to put on I read.

Opinions?

ok, well going for the ultra silent approach AND mounting 6 case fans and a CPU fan are a bit contradictory. i do recommend having the top hole as a blow hole, and as for the rest, sure blow em in, increase the pressure inside the case so you get more air molecules to transfer heat
i dunno about the best amd hsf units, but i have also heard good things about those. you probably can't go wrong with them.
panaflo vs vantec stealth? not sure, no first hand experience with either
but i still maintain that if you want some peace and quiet you're not gonna want 6 fans on your case

thats too many fans for silence, if you dont plan on overclocking alot i would say 3 case fans and a cpu fan.
