Just FYI,
I'm made some purchases to quiet my new PC as well, (tracking them as we speak) and should have everything by next week). I've got a Tiger MPX dual CPU motherboard with 2 AMD XP1700+ with the retail fans. It's a pretty loud machine (about 75db at the back of the case, and about 50db at 2 feet).
To quiet things down, here is what I'm doing. So far, I've put Dynamat on the inside of the case to reduce vibrations, and put a layer of carpet foam on top of that. To quiet the CPU cooling, I'm going to the new AX-7 heatsinks from ThermalRight (http://www.thermalright.com/ax7.html) and using the PC Power and Cooling Silencer 80mm fans on them (http://www.pcpowercooling.com/products/alarmandaccesories/silencerfan/index.htm). I'm also getting two of the 'SilentDrive' made by Molex (http://www.molex.com/product/silent/silentdrive.html), which is an enclosure for the hard drives. (They are supposed to reduce the hard drive noise by 90%). I'm also adding a new power supply made by Enermax...It's part of their 'Whisper' series and has an adjustable exhaust fan (http://www.enermax.com.tw/products/switch-main.htm).
My hopes are to reduce the noise to a almost dead silence, but that remains to been seen (heard). I'll post my success or failure next week when I get everything installed.
