Hello,

I'm about to build a new HTPC / fileserver combo with a Pentium D820 CPU and six to eight Sata drives. Now the thing is that I would like to have this lot passively cooled, according to charts the CPU will generate up to 130W and the drives about 10W each.

What I had in mind was either two Zalman Reserator towers or two innovaKonvekt-O-Matic PASSIVE MAXI radiators.

Any comments on either of these choices?

I will probably hire someone on these forums to mill out the HDD blocks.
