$3 of acetone will remove all traces of artic silver, as long as you are thorough and careful, you can send it back and they will be nun the wiser.

I used to think power was everything, I’d rather spend an extra $100 on a case and cooling to have it be silent than an extra 200 MHz. When done properly, a system can be both silent and powerful. I’m running an amd64 3500+ with NVIDIA dual 6800 ultras, its silent when it’s idle and barely audible when i crank the fans to high when i game. as soon as you get a silent system you'll thank your self, loud humming is not worth an extra 5 fps.

The case I suggested is nearly silent, and if you put a rheostat in, and reduce the voltage on the fans a bit, it’s silent but still cool.

And insolating the sound will also insolate the heat.
