Athlon XP 2500+ Barton Cooling

I am planning on building a new computer, but I am not sure about what
is enough cooling. I haven't put a computer together in a long time,
so I have a few questions. I am trying to build a quiet box because I
really hate noisy pcs. I have seen large heatsinks but they are beyond
the spec weight so I would like to keep away from them, plus I don't
plan on overclocking.

I am thinking of using the Antec Sonata case which looks fine, but my
problem is when it comes to CPU HSF. Would something like the Zalman
FB123 w/92mm Fan with the stock heatsink be enough? Even in silent
mode? Would it be enough if I added a second 120mm fan to the case?

I really like the idea of large fans running at slow speeds, if the
stock heatsinks isn't enough what would people recommend.

TR2-M1 or -M3. Super quiet (21dba), cools great and cost $8.

ive got that case (and that cpu) im running a 2nd 120mm antec case fan
inside (with the additional rubber grommets) and the Thermaltake
Volcano12 at max speed...cant really hear the computer... easily left on
next to my bed

Hmm you really don't want to be sleeping within an electromagnetic field
unless you specifically want to damage your health

Do you sleep in a Faraday cage?

Not entirely necessary.

In that case, wouldn't one need a similarly constructed codpiece?
