You can use old Pentium II 400 MHz - there are still many of them available, which doesn't need any cooler, its radiator will do. Such way the only moving part would be PS-fan, which you can slow down a little, using a resistor 50-100 Ohm - additionally reducing a noise. "Full" Pentium II with 400 MHz clock will give you in practice about as much power, as that Celeron 700 (a little less, but not that much). -- pozdrawiam / regards Zbigniew Baniewski
