I know bladerunners setup, and seen some other zerofan setups, but most of them have completely open cases and such. My insulated case doesn't have very good convection. I'd have to get another case that's more 'open', but then I'd have to find another solution for my hdds. Would all become very, very expensive and I would waste the small fortune I've allready spent. Don't like that, but I bought the case without watercooling in mind. So probably I'll keep the case, go for the watercooled psu, and use one or two strategically placed fans and ultra low rpm (700rpm). Without the restriction of the psu parts and without the need to cool the psu, these fan(s) should be sufficient, and as long as I don't attach them hard against the case, but suspend them on rubber butts, I won't be able to hear it. What I will do though, is make/buy some electronics so that the fan(s) only cut in when casetemps are getting high. If convection is enough, no fans will be working.
Any more wacky ideas are still very welcome though. Pelt idea sounds very good!
