To all: thanks for the replies. Some suggested harddrive insulation and watercooling. If you look at my website (www.xs4all.nl/~philippo) you can see that I allready went that far, everything except my psu is watercooled/insulated. I allready built a giant radiator.
As as resume: I'll need a little airflow through the case, from down/front to up/back of the case. I'll have to get heatspreaders/heatsinks on all not watercooled parts to use the little airstream there is as much as possible. Any fan(s) should be of the silent type and undervolted.
OK, that's probably what I'll end up with, but I'm thinking beyond that. My computer is nearly silent allready. To illustrate: I bought a flatscreen because my monitor was noisy compared to the rest. So I was hoping for some ourageous ideas, like putting a waterjacket around the entire case, or some quantumphysics. So please, flush your brain and post ypur ideas!

Btw, the watercooled psu in the link: they are for sale at Eur265,=. I'm seriously contemplating one. I know I'm mad, but that's what made me watercool me pc.
