for an AMD athlon 1.4ghz and I work in a very hot place.. so I need it to really cool off. stay around at least 45ºC it ussually around 60º which is very HOT for it... well letdown is until 95ºC but still I don't feel like killing my CPU that fast

What is currently on it? Is it properly seated, phase change tape or paste?

I would suggest the Volcano 5 from thermaltake; excellent one that i'm currently using on my Athlon 1.4 MP. As for a HUB/switch i like Linksys products.

Hey there Kryptokool, man of non-steel!

Their are good word of mouth reviews on the Netgear R314 router/firewall.
Off the shelf they cost anywhere from $85 up to $125. Look on Ebay now,
under computers - networking equipment - search for netgear within,
and you will see a couple being bid on around $35 - $65 currently.

Remember - there are a ton of any computer parts available for $$$$,
always look around for sales - try http://www.google.com and type in
the basic description to start with - or go to http://www.pricewatch.com
and search for netgear router - if you are building a lan it's perfect,
and even better, if you will attach a DSL modem to it - you will not
have to pay your provider for more than 1 ISP address - save that $$
and put it in a nice big monitor to play games on. Thats my plan.
