Help: Looking for a quit Centrino!

Now I need your help: I own a Dell Inspiron 8200, which is okay for my work. But there is one thing that drives me crazy: It is noisy! The cooler's always running and it is loud enough to be heard from the other side of the room. :-(

So, I need your recommendations for the successor of my noisy dell: It will need to have a Pentium-M-processor, the Centrino-certificate, a 1400x1050 or 1600x1200 (or something in between) 15.x" display, a seperate graphics-adaptor (ATI Rage 9x00 or some NVidia device), some 40+ gig harddisk, dvd burner and at least 1gb of ram. And, most of all, it should be quit!

Until now, I was looking at Dell's Inspiron 8600c and at IBM's ThinkPad R51. If you know better / similiar units or if you're using one of the devices, I'd appreciate your info! :-)

I am typing this in my bedroom on my new Dell 8600c. It has PentiumM 1.7Ghz and the rest maxed out according to your specs. It is very quiet and rarely turns the fans on. It is very fast, and the screen is great.
Don't forget wireless connectivity...

IBM Thinkpad T42, been using for a couple months now, can't be beat! nearly silent until at max cpu usage. Design and functionality is excellent! only downside is no widescreen option, but with UXGA, it's not really necessary...
