I built this computer, modest, but cheaper than buying one. :
Intel Pentium D 830, Dual-core, 3.0GHZ (runs on 130W, I think)
Mobo XFX MG-63MI-7109
NVIDIA nForce 630i/7100 onboard Video, audio
3 GB PC5400 DDR2
Thermaltake TR2 W0070 430W PSU
MicroATX case
Case fan diagonally below PSU
Don't overclock or game.
I know the Pentium D runs hot, but I got bad advice, or rather not enough advice. The stock HSF is garbage, and the plastic pins drove me nuts, so I'm looking for a new HSF. However, I am unemployed, with everything that goes with that.
What are some economical but good quality HSF's that I might use with this? I know Zalman makes theirs with screws, not plastic pins.
And free shipping wouldn't make me too sad, either.:lol: I have to consider that in the total
