2) Line any inside surfaces of your PC case with Dynamat, or a similar, thin noise damping product.
3) The next more aggressive move would be to add some thick foam(Moony bought some from McMaster-Carr). Try one area at a time until you have the maximum amount that will fit without interfering with air flow.
4) I have been searching for a Rheostat for my pump to slow (and quiet it down) it down when i'm not gaming. The specs on the box the pump came in state 24 watts and 1.2 amps. So far the closest I have come is a FrozenCPU 15w rheostat they claim ran a 23w fan with no problem. Also I have seen a couple of drive bay fan controllers that can handle 18w per channel.
Good luck.
