So this thing runs quite hot then ? No overheating problems I hope.
As for the AMD processors.... OK they've got the upper edge with their 64bit designs but Ive always had problems with AMD in the past and I hear they are hard to fit anyway. Im sticking with the P4.

The Retail version of the CPU should come with heat sink and fan if I am correct. I think its the OEM version that comes without.
Thanks for the info about the case. I'l be getting a normal ATX one and I'l have a look at a good 450watt PSU.
