Actually a friend of mine is working on a power supply that so much 
oversized (on purpose) that it gets along without ventilation.

I installed a second harddisk cage in my box on springs.
You don't hear them any more even if the housing is open, let alone 
closed :)
I can make a photo of this if you want.

For the rest... well, a watercoolant for the CPU is in progress but a 
bit tricky if you build it from scratch with old scrap (used motorcycle 
cooler from Ebay, self-drilled cooler for the CPU etc)...
