You don't need a fan but even a 7 volted L1A would make a pretty big difference, if only in peace of mind. Not like he could hear it anyway in an insulated case.
I'd say water cool all you can except the power supply. Put a low speed fan in it. This can also double as your case fan. At this point any disk but a CudaV is gonna be louder then the fan anyway. Finally move the case a few feet away from your desk. That should be pretty damn silent.
