So i know this i a little wierd because i guess it just comes down to personal preference but . . . .

i need advice choosing a cpu fan.

i am almost positive i want a "standard" fan not one of the rotary fans because that would fuck up my air currents in the comp.

i guess i just want input on good brands . . .
i just bought a thermal take and it had a bad rpm sensor in it. but imo TT is not a bad brand.
anyway i have to get another . . . just want some input.

Well... First we would need to know your socket type, and I believe that you most likely have either an Athlon XP or a Pentium 4, because they make this in both socket types, http://www.xoxide.com/aerocoolht101.html It's the Aerocool HT 101 if you cant tell from the link and having that would allow you to position 2 fans so that it actaully increses the airflow in your comp, just something to think about..

In reply to midas, #5: I've had no problems running my P4 with the stock fan-this won't work if you intend to overclock it however.

In reply to comrade693, #12: IMO, overclocking really isn't worth it. I've fried a few components attempting to squeeze a little bit more out of them. And for me it's really hard to replace those, and the performance I get.. Isn't worth it.

In reply to midas, #14: I don't understand. Why did you think he sounded like a dick? He posted a link to a decent fan and heatsink, it fits your socket, and directly answered the question you posted. Perhaps I missed something. :-\

In reply to midas, #17: In that case, Papst makes good fans, so does Antec and Zalman. Does that help?

In reply to Allos, #26: CDex will do it but it's more than you really need. dbPowerAmp Music Converter is probably closer to what you need.

I need a new monitor and I'm having a hard time deciding wether I should save up for an LCD, or go get a CRT for cheaper. Any suggestions?
