Best Cooling Solutions?
Recently, I noticed that my computers been kinda hot lately. Running HL2 Demo and Doom 3. The temps rise like crazy. I have 3 fans jammed in here, but it already sounds like a 747 
Now, I have been looking into over clocking, researching it as much as I can. Sometime in the future I wanna try my go at overclocking my Video Card and CPU. With the new games coming out I can't always play them as I like to - (High res and tons of AA and AF!)
So ... to the point. Soon i'm getting a job and I wanna buy some cooling for my computer. I was looking into water cooling, but I'm still not sure about it. Fans are just too noisy and other options I have seen just seem way too expensive (upwards of $500.00-$1000.00 or higher!)
I want something easy to set up (to the point where it's not gonna take me a week), something easy to manage - water cooling is about as hard as I want it), something that I can actually afford - I'm gonna say $200.00 is my limit (Canadian finds people!) And something that is effective. Hopefully I'm looking for something that can decrease my temperatures by about 20C
I really don't know if this is all possible, but I am asking you's first
Thanks for your help if you can give any. Oh and if you have any other questions i'll be sure to answer fast

Sweet! Thanks you guys. I was looking into the Reserator 1 from Zalman. I hope it can fit under my desk, i'll have to look at the dimensions later.
I'm so glad there's actually a store in Edmonton Reich! For some reason my family dislikes credit cards and online shopping So 99% of the time i'm stuck ordering through a company or not getting my way! :heh:

Mounting holes are on all S478 boards. All you have to do is take off the retention bracket and use them.
Yeah. I'm not up to smothering my CPU and board in thermal grease.
