We built 8 machines in DISIS this past year as part of the sustainable
computing project which are as silent as they can possibly get (currently
loudest noise emanating are HDs spinning idly as we have not put any
insulation around the HDs):
Core 2 Duo 2.67 with Scythe Ninja sink
Nvidia 7600 or 8600GT 512MB RAM (fanless)
2GB RAM
Silentmaxx fanless 400W PSU
Thermaltake Case
ASUS P5B Deluxe
Basically, there is only one single 120mm fan in the machine attached to the
CPU cooler running at <1200 RPM (we tested it also at 800 RPM without any
stability issues).
Machines run Ubuntu Studio.
