Should I use my old T-Bird HSF as a case fan?

I'm reaplacing my old 1Ghz T-Bird with an XP (it's coming today! yay!), and I'm debating the HSF from the T-Bird as a case fan.

It fits in there perfectly, spins nice n' fast, but it's kinda loud. The main reason I wanted my old AMD fan and not the one I jacked out of an old 486 Compaq PSU is because the newer fan allows me to check the speeds and the like.

What do you think? Should I sell the 1Ghz? Or keep it and use the fan?
 
As I don't like noise very much I would go with the PSU fan which I suppose is a 80mm, is quieter and moves more air.
Even if you keep and use the HSF's fan you could sell the TB without the fan and with the HS.;)
 
The stock HSF on my 1.2ghz T-bird is a delta(54.5dB)... enough said.. I'm ditching this fan as soon possible(watercooling)...

Thats how I'd decide which to use :)
