Can it be done? Yes. Easily.

I wouldn't want to go into it unless UV is willing to take some risks and spend some serious time with this build

....I guess I speak with a forked tongue
This project is feasible. I don't see why a 655 wouldn't be enough of a pump to push water through a couple of transmission coolers. Overclockning isn't in UV's mind, so temps only need to be low enough to keep a stock system stable.
Anyone want to tell me how a hermetically sealed case, with foam insulation covering every internal panel, would allow the noise from eight HDs to escape? The issue of vibrations can be taken care of by decoupling the HDs from the chasis.
UV: if you don't like my idea of one MASSIVE HD block, perhaps you would like the idea of two smaller ones? I'd avoid koolance if you can, as such a system would get expensive quick.
Cooling the PSU: I don't have time to sketch this one up so I'll try to explain it. Take a BIP and a Tornado 12cm fan. Have the arrangement stacked so it goes:
BIP->Fan (blowing toward PSU)->PSU
Since the fan would make a load of noise, I suggest you pad that area of the case very well. You'd also have to build a custom box inside of the case to isolate the heat of the PSU from the rest of the system.
