My P4 3.0 Ghz(LGA 775) is running hotter than I'd like it to. My BIOS says that it's at 56C but Asus Probe and Speed fan say that it's at ~44C. I'd like to lower it down into the 30C range if possible. So, what would be the best way to cool it down besides water cooling? I have this case which I will be putting it into...

It's currently in this case...

I was thinking about buying an all copper Zalman HSF and then buying the LGA bracket to fit it into my case. I can only afford something $60 at most.
 
I couldn't tell from thelink whether you could install an extra exhaust fan on the top of the case or not.
With just two fans I can't see you cooling the unit down much.
