hehe jools, all cool haardware glows
@Brown: When it comes to silencing a PC thats a different story altogether.. A good case is a great starting point, a little insulation material as well, ensuring everythign is screwed in tight. Alot of noise can come from badly installed fans or at times too powerful fans.
You can fit switches to cut the power to them, heck somecases have that built in as well. (I know my lian li does) A fan controller can help if you don't want to dick around too much, and those can look pretty cool as well.
A PSU should be fairly silent to begin with but you can get some really quiet ones if you're not happy with your current one.
The next biggest culprit can be your CPU fan. Something again that is controllable as well.
Your cpu fan can be connected to a fan controller alot of the time, or may come with a speed control that allows you to throttle is back. (See thermal take fans for instance)
All in all for silencing a currently running PC you may not need to spend much on kit at all. Unless of course the case is complete cack

I still think a water cooling system would be best, as long as its fitted right you can cut away all moving parts, that includes the ones in the psu, its just got to be done and fitted right, though they cost like 100 whihc would effectivle be 3 decent fans aand a speed controller

mac mini is expensive for what it is tbh....me mate has a comp that is virtually silent - cheap everything....underclocked so it don't need extra fans except 1xcpu + 1xpsu! - cool eh?
