That one looks interesting. There are some other (more monolithic) blocks with
larger fans.
The reason for looking to large diameter fans is to move the same amount of
air with much reduced noise. There are some very detailed explanations of why

It's basically X over SSH, only the X protocol is compressed up to 1000x in
places. It's truly impressive, e.g watching YouTube (with sound) over 2 ADSL
connections.

Last year whilst rebuilding my PC* I bought a PSU with a huge fan

The fan is controlled and in very hot weather can run a little faster;
there are no case fans and no rhs side-cover.
The PC is in front of my shins so the quiet is very
FWIW, there are a number of quite impressive coolers around (at a price).
The heat-pipe types are particularly effective, and yes, the Zalman's
are good.
These people have a wide range, including both heat-pipe and water coolers.

Yep, the 3GHz P4 is basically a small electric fire, by modern standards.
However, there are heatsink and fan combos that are reasonably

Thin client idea - funny you should say that because I do have the
ingredients already to do that! But for me doing development would become
a bit of chore because of having to await two machines to boot up instead
of one. Also the wife would not tolerate another server in my data centre
