OH....almost forgot... For those of you gagging for a quiet drive, I've got one to spare. Seagate Barracuda V 120gb SATA. This one has the SeaShield/SeaShell covering the Ics (thin layer of foam with a steel lid)...whisper quiet.
Taking bids.

I have an Athlon XP 2200 on an EPOX 8k9a9i mobo (VIA chipset), and it remains at 40�C while running xmame or compressing DivX. The PSU's tempreature remains stable at 34�C at the same time. The display adapter is an old Matrox G400, which doesn't heat so much. I use a silent HDD (Seagate Barracuda), a silent CPU fan (GlacialTech Igloo SilentBReeze 462) and a (hopefully) good case (Antec Solution Series SLK1600 minitower). The case doesn't really blend with my HiFi, though ;) And there is still the noise of the air flowing... The one thing is the DVD drive: I have a Plextor PX-116A, and it's hard to set to a lower speed (i.e. sometimes it works, but I don't know why, and most of the time it seems to ignore the setting). If someone has a trick (or can explain my *why* it sometimes works...)
