Just looking to put some more life into my (soon to be someone else's) old P4 rig.

I'm be looking for two things:

An AGP video card (pref. low end for price and compatibility reasons). The fan on the current card will not spin anymore and probably hasn't been spinning for a while, I've never really noticed until a few days ago.

Another thing I need is a socket 478 compatible heatsink. It doesn't have to be anything fancy, just something that's quieter than the stock junk which sounds like a jet engine. I always thought the noise came from the HDD/PSU but after replacing the PSU I figured out where that crazy noise was coming from. Cleaning out all the dust didn't help much either.

I'd buy the Zalman Fatal1ty crap on Newegg but I doubt 42dBA would be much of an improvement over the current hunk of junk, noise wise at least.

I'm not looking to spend much but seeing as I will (hopefully) have some money flowing after getting rid of my i7 components I'll upgrade this thing before finally giving it away to an old classmate until she gets a new computer.

I have an old ATI 5200(128MB) and i might have S478 heatsink in my garage.
I just need to get rid of that stuff, so PM me your offer if you're interested.

P.S. I might also have something, like ATI Rage 128 Pro and GeForce 2 MX400(Both AGP)

Please don't make me offer, I got into building computers long after these platforms died. Not only would I not know a price, I don't even know what hardware you're talking about. :D

Lil info:
Both ATI Rage 128 Pro and GeForce 2 are re-e-e-eally old cards, and GeForce 5200 is just old :)
The last one(GeForce FX 5200) is powerfull enough to play Half Life 2, Counter Strike, WC3 and most of the games that came out before 2003-2004.

I will give you all three cards for $15.

There isn't such thing as an ATI Radeon 5200. There is an NVIDIA GeForce FX5200, or a Radeon 9200 (DX8). :)
