All i can say is check the recommended list here at silentpcreview, i wouldn't buy anyting other than those listed when it comes to heatsinks. You could probably get at least a Zalman pretty cheap and they are easy to find.

dansdata rated the falconrock II very high especially for a quiet cooler.

The falconrock has been covered in another thread as well: http://forums.silentpcreview.com/viewtopic.php?t=3272

Methinks you're better off with a Thermalright SK-7 for $20 + $6 Zalman fanmate1 + $2.50 NMB Ultra Quiet 3-pin Fan from SVC.com You pay a bit more but it will be both quieter and far more powerful in cooling, AFAIK.

Hey just like to mention, the Zalman multi adaptor deserves a bit of mention which seems to be unmentioned in SPCR forums. I get them pretty cheap in the UK, approximately £3.50 compared to the Zalman fanmate which is about £10. I am pretty sure they must sell this in the US as well for probably less.

The multi adaptor plugs into any 4 pin molex and gives you two 5v + two 12v 3pin connectors. Pefect for multiple fans, saving ££'s compare to having many Zalman fanmates, if you have fans with 3pin connectors.

Another nice gadget to your silence arsenal.
