My PC is to noisey 
... the cpu fan has about had it so I am going to replace it and do someother bits at the same time. Just wonder if anybody had any experiance of this kit or similar.
Current setup is a AV7333 MB running a retail xp 1900 chip and fan. Boggo 330w PSU. Geforce4 ti4200 video.
I am thinking of getting this lot to quieten it down and speed it up
Enermax EG365AX-VE(G)(FMA) 350W ATX Power Supply (CA-003-EN) 45.24 overclockers
Zalman Flower CNPS6000-Cu Silent Socket A CPU Cooler - Retail (HS-000-ZA) 26.91 overclockers
AMD Athlon "Thoroughbred" XP 2600+ 333FSB (Socket A) CPU - OEM (CP-030-AM) 70.38 overclockers
Zalman ZM80A-HP Silent Heatpipe VGA Cooler (SY-003-ZA) 25.79 overclockers
Any other suggestions welcome (apart from water cooling ... don't want to go that far )

its very well heatsinking all your comp but you'll still need to keep a good air flow as you may get heat probs when playing games etc as the heat builds up. you may wanna look into rheostats or baybuses, basically links all your fans to switches which allows you to run them at off, on and 7v and you can run them as needs be.
my watercooling was the worsed i had 6x 120mm ys techs which were extremely loud when switched on but at night i ran it fanless
