Hth!

To their credit the Intel P4's seem to need a little less agressive cooling
than Athlon XP's, also, I think (think!) Dell have started using acoustic
matting inside their cases.. I know some OC places sell the stuff: that
would dampen the sound down, without affecting airflow too much!

Thanks for the advice Ian. I ended up not buying as the total with shipping
was going to be 76 Euros.. Way to much !!

It must be possible to do something as SWMBO's sister bought a new Dell PC
1.8Ghz and when we first switched it ON I thought something was wrong as I
could not hear the fan but it turns out to be very very quiet.

Dave..
