Hey Guys, I am going to be switching out my desktop build shortly and I was thinking about using the hardware to replace my older home server. The issue is that my home server is in an unventilated closet so heat output in a huge issue. Here is a picture of my current setup:

Basically my question is that out of the two setups I will detail below which one will output less heat. The NF4 chipset and video card are what is throwing me off on the issue as I know the Athlon X2 with Cool and Quiet should draw less power. Speed is not an issue as the Pentium III honestly just works great for what it is doing. The PIII rig has worked for over 6 years with different hardware around it. Besides swapping out controllers, hard drives, and the CPU coolers it has been the most reliable PC I have ever used.

Common Hardware between 2 units
-Antec NSK6580 Case
-Antec "Earthwatts" 430watt Power Supply
-2 x Nexus 92mm Front Intake Fans
-1 x Antec Tri-Cool 120mm Exhaust Fan
-4 x Western Digital 500GB Hard Drives (RAID5)
-1 x Pioneer DVD-RW
-APC 750va UPS

Current Setup
-Tyan Thunder LE-T Motherboard
-2 x Intel Pentium III 1.4GHz Tualatin
-2 x Antec Socket 370 HSF (Fan Controlled)
-Promise TX2310 SATA RAID Controller
-Intel 1000GT Network Adapter

Proposed Replacement
-ASUS A8N-SLI Premium Motherboard
-AMD Athlon X2 3800+ (Cool and Quiet Enabled)
-Zalman 9500 Heatpipe HSF Assembly
-ATI 2400HD Passive Video Card

Thanks in advance for your advice.

If it ain't broke, why fix it?
