You might want to consider buying a Northwood 2.53 Ghz CPU. This should perform better than the 2.4 Ghz Celeron and the heat is reasonable. The motherboard temperature in my Pundit-r (with 2.53 Ghz Northwood) is between 37 and 43 degrees celsius. To keep the noise low I have replaced the PSU fan with a more quiet one and I have added a Zalman Fanmate to the PSU fan. -- Niels
