I second that.
Those 3 points form a triangle. Move towards the performance/silence side and you slide away from the 'reasonable cost' point...
For me reaching the 'silent computing' goal means you accidentaly turn off the computer, thinking it was off though it was actually running the screensaver. Or to put it another way, you cannot tell if it's running or not.
To reach this goal and keep a high performance system is very expensive. Overclocking makes it even more expensive. If i can i'll detail my current system (YY cube) and my next system (Lian Li V2000) to show the approach i took to this problem.
