Air cooling will work fine for now if you use high quality heat sinks to
transfer the heat. See:
http://www.hardcoreware.net/reviews/other/silent_pc/1.php
Its only if you get into very heavy duty speach recognition, or
MPEG-4 compression or running Folding@Home at max throughput
that you need to run 2-3 GHz processors at their full throughput
(and therefore heat production that might require liquid cooling).
