PC Place

Anyone have any opinions on what is the best quiet CPU cooler? It’s for an AMD XP2600 that has a pretty low load life so I don’t need super cooling. I already have a quiet zalman PSU, 21db MSI graphics card, Acoustifan case fan and near silent SATA drives. I've also binned my northbridge fan and replaced it with a chunky heat sink. So now my only annoyance is the cpu cooler.
I don’t want to spend too much since I've done everything else on the cheap and it’s not all that important that have a quiet PC. At the moment I'm leaning towards a zalman CNPS7000A-ALCU but every manufacturer seems to think their cooler puts out 21db it’s hard to make comparisons.

Thanks in advance
