#1: Invest in good fans. Not to go overboard on expense, but get
something better than what you're going to find off the shelf at best
buy. You can get fans that are a lot quieter.

#2: Ditto for the power supply. Spend the extra on one that's quiet.

#3: Ditch the fans entirely, and go to an active water cooled system.

#4: Fiberglass.
