Welcome to TweakNews, Marc! :)

Now getting to your question(s): You need a silent HSF for your XP2001+? Well, I don't know if overclocking is something ur considering, regardless you should check out Nathan's comparison review over the GLOBALWIN TAK-68 and COOLINK H2TWIN coolers HERE and choose which one's best for you.

Also, you mentioned u needed a "power source"? I assume you meant Power Supply. Take a look at Peer's review over the Antec TruePower 430 watt HERE! It just happends to be very silent and 430W seems like it'll be more than enough for you.

Finally, you need a case? Well, check out the ATC Black ATX case from Koolcases.com HERE! It's only $44...

I recommend you go with Antec power supplies not only because they're the ones I've had most experience with but because they're a trusted name in the cooling and power supply arena. As for the HSF's I'd have to got with Nathan's conclusion and pick the Globalwin - silent, efficient, deadly! (ok, I added the last part )

Post your system specs too so we can get more of an idea of what you'll be running.

Just got some more inside news from one of my buds, and he also recommends using a HSF from Zalman. They really concentrate more on silence rather than xtreme cooling/performance, yet are still easily acceptable for those that choose to OC anyway.
