Heh. I don't think so
Many ppl don't even get close to that...

Then you said :
Airflow requirements inside would be low, so there’s only one intake and one outlet, each one seriously muffled. Like I said before, a low spinning centrifugal blower will take care of ventilation.

Duh ? Light approach ? Me ? You're just adding two (2) fans there... BUZZZZ wrong move
"silent" or "noiseless" is different from "rather quiet" or "not too loud".
Gerwin: last time i heard about chimneys it was in slashdot forums (good luck !!!) about G4 mac passive cooling enhancements. IIRC the G4 'cube' has zero fan (like the i-mac). I've seen people discussing convection principles and adapting PCs in Mac cases. You'll have to do a bit of searching though, i've read that some time ago and i cannot remember where.
The rough idea is to use strategically placed vents and a chimney to 'enhance' convection. About the shape, think of how fireplace chimneys work... Yep that kind of 'exponential' shape would do it.
(edit) i'm still convinved that the case itself is part of the solution there. A custom-built one sounds like a good idea.
