A Quiet Blower...

I'm thinking a blower would work quite well for cooling my ram. Anyone know of a quiet one?

This should be quiet enough for SPCR...

Not sure about the extra weight hanging off your RAM, although the motherboard clips should be ok. You can even stack a few of these together and mount a fan on top, if you're really worried about your memory.
Those clip-on coolers, with the lights and dual 40mm fans, are likely to be worse than an electric drill

I'm really just looking for a blower. Anyone know of any?

My guess is that this is as quiet as you are going to get. I assume that is what you meant with blower.

And you need hardly any cooling for RAM anyway, unless you have RDRAM. My RAM runs just fine without so much as a heatspreader on it.

Thats because your probably running you ram at default speed and vltage. My ram is going to need active cooling when I'm pumping 2.3V through it.

I'm a combination overclocker-silencer. No, I'm not schizo.

Thats a great idea... I may need to experiment with it.

Yep, just tried it and it works great. I think that may be what I ultimately end up doing.

Yeah, I am running my RAM at default. 100MHz/2.5V/timings 2.5-3-3-6. (Celery 1.7GHz)
