Basically I have an Athlon XP 2100+ Cpu, through laziness I have been using the heatsink and fan that I got with my cpu however now I can no longer bare the noise. Can anyone recommend a good heatsink & fan that is really quiet. (Any links to products would be appreciated). Just now I am looking at a zalman hs+fan or a coolermaster jet 7 (recommended this but I've heard varying things about it's noise)....I have a very nice window on my case so if the hs+fan had a led or looked smart would be an added bonus......not too bothered about price (as long as nothing to ridiculous like £50+)
BTW as a side note, I HIGHLY recommend the Logitech MX700 mouse, it is the BMW of the mouse world, best cordless device I've ever had!!

Its noiseless, its light. Ran my pally 20oC cooler than an overclockers Akasa fan that was about £20. This is £6.
As for your heatsink, get any Thermalright from http://www.extremecooling.co.uk and a suitably sized Papst fan (bigger is better & quieter) from the same site. 20dBA is quiet.
