Ok, forget TigerDirect then. They seemed overpriced anyway.

Can you just give me a good (quiet, safe and inexpensive) set up of a PSU,
Case, and CPU HSF? Because it seems my judgement has been terrible so far.

Take a look at the Antec cases with 120mm rear fan at
http://www.newegg.com

Heatsinks are such commodity items that it really depends on
how much you're willing to spend. Thermalright are good,
but mainly choose one with thick copper on the bottom and at
least an 80mm x 25mm thick fan, with max RPM below 3500,
even lower max RPM if there is no speed controller included.

And a good way to get that Stock Intel HSF off. Those brackets are stubborn.

Thanks

Take your time. If the TIM (thermal phase-change pad) seems
to have permanently bonded the CPU to the sink then run the
system for awhile at full load to heat it up, THEN power off
and remove it while hot.

Hows this?

Is it Micro ATX Compatible?

I have no idea what fan to get. All the thermalright were really small. If
the stock fan included with the processor is really that bad, give me a
precise reccomendation. Like exactly what fan to get. Lets not get too
pricey. Im not the one paying for this.

There are plenty of reviews on the 'net, read a few and find
one in the price-range you desire. There are thermalrights
that aren't small, check their website.

I really dont care that much about what fan I get. I just want a fan thats

relatively quiet and not that expensive. Please just give me a specific
reccomendation

Another Update:

After my dad came home, I ran the BIOS PC Health Screen and saw that the CPU
RPMS were at 5600 as usual.Then after waiting for the CPU RPMS to go down, I
wanted to take the side panel off. Almost as soon as I did that the CPU RPMS
plummitted down to 3000 then slowly went down to 2600. There was also a CPU
temp drop of 6 degrees Celsius. But after just leaning the side panel
against my computer started to make the cpu fan speed up again.
I think its just a ventilation problem, so I'm going to forget the CPU Fan
altogether. Any reccomendations on ventilation... The previous suggestions
of cutting out the perferated panel in the back and the front seem like they
wouldnt work that well. Perhaps this case would be better.

Could be a faulty hard drive going bad.or your processor fan might be going
as well.

Hi,

I recently assembled a P4 3.0 GHZ computer and it has been making
excessive amounts of noise. I replaced the faulty video card fan with
a new 3rd party fan and it still makes the noise. It makes less noise
the first few minutes of startup and remains relatively quiet until I
start using resource demanding applications such as games, WinRAR, or
QuickPAR. Its a really loud humming noise almost a buzzing noise.
Possibly coming from CPU or Power Supply

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance
