If you got low on funds, try the heater core to a montego (6x6 finned area or so, tubes can be just cut off and 1/2" ID tubing will fit right over) and a coolingworks shroud. The h/c should be under $40 and the shroud around $12.
You can still be quiet. A 120mm nexus fan (even PWMed a bit) pulls plenty of air through a montego core. As a bonus, it'll be easier to fit in the lower front of your tower case (if that's what you've got).

Of course, if you were going to buy the BIP II and wanted quiet, I'd suggest getting the thermochill PA160...
