  I have built a pretty much near silent pc using the following and i 
have two 500gb sata drive in it.

Antec case with www.acousticproducts.com mat inside
Two Noctua 800rpm fans, cannot hear them at all.
http://www.quietpc.com/gb-en-gbp/products/intelcooling/ninjaplus
replaced the cpu fan with one of those
A totally silent power supply, though it does have a big fan spining 
slow....

My temp monitor shows only 35c for the case temp
