I've been testing my Yate Loon D12SL-12s, and most of them start consistently at 3.5V. Should be about 400rpm, but I cannot measure that low. Such speeds are definitely an option with the right fans. Did you ever get any YLs, Bill? PM me if not.
I've also played with undervolting my DDC but didn't find worthwhile gains. Mine's sitting on ~3/4" of melamine foam inside a heavily damped/foamed case, and that's enough to keep it quieter than my Super Silencer (with noisy stock fan).
Snutten, did you ever post any pics of your rig?
Bill, you should join us in SPCR's forums. You'd probably find some product opportunities, and the WC forum could use some shaking up.
