Well for me because when working or studying, noise _really_ annoys and frustrates me. I've been out of uni for a bit now and the 'ol righ I'm using isn't all that quiet (3 YLs @ stock 12v) -- heading back to uni this fall and I know at some point I'm going to crack and have to quiet this rig down. Running the YLs @ 5v should do the trick for the winter, but I need to pick up a Scythe Ninja for next summer.
PSU is not an issue. Just go with a good Seasonic or something. (Note: the new S12 II models have a poorly selected default fan. I'd go
S12 Energy Plus).
If I built a rig now: P182, Scythe Ninja, S-Flex SFF21E or YateLoon D12SL-12 @ 5v (SFF21E's quieter but at a premium), Seasonic S12 non-II

Just go with an Antec P180/P180B/P182

Same noise-is-secondary approach I have -- on servers. Your rig setup has some _serious_ issues if you can't even put on your case cover on without crashing the machine though.

Sweet. VW? I wish I had a diesel. Then I could cut a deal with a few of the many restaurants in my area to satisfy my fuel supply. Big bio-diesel fan (_not_ ethanol)

Done many times over the years. Just recently:

Not quiet, but they do make for some sweet overclocks!
A bit pricey.

Hum, how about the
PicoPSU for a low watt rig from a 12v source -- car battery + solar panels.
Some dude just recently put together a car PC setup I'm been thinking about doing since the PicoPSU was released. Car PC setups are actually pretty easy nowadays compared to yeasteryear -- I remember one guy running a WC setup with a rad in his front spoiler (rally car, telemetry data)...was that someone here on the ProCooling forums?
