I have one of the old thermaltake volcano's (the 7 I think)
very good - veriable speed so pretty quiet when its running cool - louder when it needs more.
Is water cooling an option?
Prob about £100 these days for a basic setup (pump, resevoir rad fan and cpu block) and they are pretty easy to install. (www.watercooling.de is probably the best site I know for the stuff)
Out of the ones on that page I would go for the Zalman CNPS7000B-CU Super Flower Cooler AMD and P4 - £32.00
Zalman are very good at cool and quiet and its an all copper block (always go for all copper vs cu/al) the only problem they have is not all motherboards can take them (depends where the capacitors are around the CPU)
