the cheetah 15.3K is actually a very quiet drive, matching the sound level of my maxtor 7200 RPM drives using fluid bearing motors. It was a pleasant suprise when I bought it.
anywayz, i think the reason why case temp are lower with the convection radiator is because the rad is placed outside the case, compared to those regular rads placed inside the case, which will add to the overall case temp increase. I know hthe AMD 64 3400+ is rated at 89 Watt max under full load, seeing that the Inno Rad can cool a heavily OCed AMD XP 2400, which is much hotter than the A64, does it still make the radiators a good buy?
I am using a Lian-Li PC 6085 Case btw and I am getting the MSI NEO Nforce 3 250Gb mobo for my athlon.
