If I had other forms of noise under as much control as you do then I'd
use a 1394 drive for all my local hard drive requirements and place it
in another room or a closet using a longer 1394 cable. I'd personalyl
prefer that to any water cooled setup but to each his own.
Maybe you can boot from a USB drive these days? Will BIOS on newer
systems allow that?
I like my Mac Mini as I can boot it from an external 1394 drive...

silence their PC
Zalman Reserator water cooling for GPU, CPU and chipset; 1dB SPL,
unbeatable.
Then get a fanless PSU from thermaltake, 0dB SPL, unbeatable.
The only thing making noise now, is the hd. I'm working on setting up
remote boot, but I have some issues with running apps locally. When I
figure it out, there will be no sound detectable at all;). (well, 2dB
SPL)
There is also 1dB SPL from my LCD, it seems.
