The Swiftech kits look good, but the single-120 rad is not the best choice for silence. Phaestus should have some kit testing done before too long. After waiting 2 years, would another month or 2 kill you?
A Samsung HD is more expensive than a Caviar, but not than a Caviar plus a good silencing enclosure. To silence a ball-bearing drive, you'll need to fully enclose the HD; something like a Novibes will reduce seeking but not block bearing noise.
SPCR is a great resource, and you should find plenty of PSU info there. (Look into the HD silencing articles also.) I've a Seasonic Super Silencer that is really wonderful, though the Tornado looks a bit better in SPCR's testing. Note the Enermax Noisetaker review also.
