Just a quickie. I seem to remember someone (Poss Darsy) suggesting a quiet CPU fan or cooling device. I don't want to spend mega-bucks, but would appreciate advice on a good quiet CPU cooler.

I don't consider myself particularly "pikey" but that's a **** sight more powerful than any of the 5 computers in my house.
Not the cheapest, but I use a "Noise Control 'Silverado'" fan. Two radial fans mounted on a heatsink with a silver conducting plate on the bottom. Looks a bit like a snail humping a radiator grille. You literally *can't* hear it running at anything but full speed.
It was somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the What size is the Celeron fan; 60 or 80mm? If 60mm, you can fit a 60 to 80 adaptor and bolt on a quiet 80mm fan from www.overclockers.co.uk http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatalog/Online_Catalogue_Fan_Grills_and_Fan_Accessories_34.html Quiet 80mm fans... http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatalog/Vantec.html -- Dave GS 850 x2 / SE 6a SbS#6 DIAABTCOD#16 APOSTLE#6 FUB#3 FUB KotL OSOS#12?

Peel sticker off the fan, remove rubber bung and put some 3 in 1 oil in. Might quiet it down for a few weeks.
Robbo was seen penning the following ode to ... whatever: Check if QuietPC (already mentioned elsewhere) do one of their own-make quiet coolers for you celery - I've got one of them for my Athlon and it's quieter than the Zalman flower cooler I've had before.
Think of the children. You should hit those 5 computers with a hammer and dispose of them in a sensitive manner [1]. Then spend loads of dosh on a single computer that consumes 1/100 of the electrickery of the other ones and allows you to use 1/100 of its processing power to browse the web. [2] [1] Be nice to the little people and they will empty your bin next week as well. [2] Side effect is your central heating bill will go up since you've removed the five room heaters.

Find a cpu cooler that will take a Vantec Stealth fan. 21db, but not a great deal of air throughput. Then again, if you wanted airflow get a vantec tornado. They're only marginally louder than a real tornado.
