[Gllug] Passive processor cooling and alternative cases

[Matthew Thompson]

Vaguely on topic as it's for a box running the Bering LRP distribution 
as a firewall.

It's on a 400Mhz Intel deceleron which hardly breaks a sweat but it was 
the only box available to me. I'd like, if possible, to passively cool 
the processor - does anyone have any experience of this - possibly the 
Zalman flower cooler but I'd like something as low profile as 
possible...

Which brings me to the second query - does anyone have any experience 
of custom or extremely low profile boxes which can be fitted out with a 
power supply and atx board? I've already got 3 low profile NICs in it 
so they shouldn't cause a problem - I can trim down the backplanes. I'm 
not bothered about having the standard rear panel - I'll happily extend 
the ports using cables.

M at t :o)
