Thermaltake sucks. Never buy their products. They are cheap, loud, and perform horribly for how much they cost.

Zalman and Thermalright make the best heatsinks. If you want a quiet HSF that performs better than most coolers with loud fans then you want the Zalman CNPS7000.




If you are going to buy a sound card, you might as well go high end. Get a Creative Sound Blaster Audigy2 ZS for $70(good for games, okay for music) or a M-Audio Revolution 7.1 for $80(good for music, okay for games).
