Quiet???? I'm counting 8 fans in your setup... plus the NB and GPU fans that's a whooping 10 fans.

If you want quiet:
* replace those case fans by a single low flow 120mm
* replace this PSU by a single fan model (Zalman, Seasonic, QT tech...) and mod it with a Papst
* forget the twin small input fans
* forget the HDD bay input fan - put a HDD cooler (such as the Antec one) around your hot HDs, but without the fans. It's usually enough.
Your fan count will drop to 3 + NB and GPU which you'll watercool when time comes.
Don't worry about inside case temps. Now that you're watercooled they're not critical.
