I've been having quite a hard time finding a Socket A cpu fan and heatsink anywhere except ebay, and then I can't find any that are of a reasonable dba number, if it is listed at all.
I am running a Athlon XP 3000+ as a server, working great so far, but my old fan buzzes super loud as a result of what I assume is misaligned bearings or something.
So before I close up the case on the new server and put it in the corner to run for eternity I need to find a semi quiet fan, but all the ones I can find are for new socket types, or are around 40 dba.
the GlacialTech Limba 2000 Heatsink-Fan, 20dBA, Socket 370 / 462 seems perfect except I doubt it would fit on my mobo, got things sticking up a half inch on each side from my current 3x3" fan.
Are there other socket type fans that are compatible with 462 that I should look at? Any suggested fans?
I'd be fine with anything 30~ dba or lower, would like something with some copper in it, and trying to stay under $20, but could go a bit over. Thx for any tips.

Note: currently with the buzzing fan the processor is running around 38C, and the hd's 36C, the OS is windows serv 2008 so the resting cpu and memory load is a bit high, but i think these temps are pretty good.
