If you really, really want to liquid cool your hard drives, why not just use (make or build) HDD coolers and sound insulate the whole thing? There's at least one pre-built solution for this.
Or.. use already pretty quiet drives, like the Samsung Spinpoints and mount 'em in something that reduces head-seek vibration transmission (a problem you're going to have to deal with even if you fully immerse them). The spinpoints run pretty cool, but you sould use the zalman heatpipe disk coolers as they also have vibration isolation - and you'd be able to reduce the airflow to the drives, reducing noise even more.
