Guys, it is easy to beat air if you are happy with large passive rads (ie external).

The extreme is 2 passive 120.3's bolted to the outsides of you case, or a copper car radiator (which also acts as a res) sitting on legs next to it. Submerge/encase pump in water or concrete, depending on the pump.

Next use a quality fanless PSU in an inverted m/b case (ie P180), a notebook h/d, and the only fan/s will be for m/b air flow. (An mCubed fan controller keeps them very slow/quite but still running.)

Alternatively put your dual Xeon with 9 h/ds through the wall into the next room. I have a problem with nose and tried a few things, but these were the two solutions that worked for me.

Cheers,
