I've got a largeish EATX thermaltake xaser3 case (next size up from standard midi towers), Tagan PSU, Zalman CPU coolers and a Tyan S2885 motherboard (though the S2895 is probably a better bet for new systems). The CPU fans are temperature controlled by the motherboard (and rarely get above 50% speed) and the case fans are on a fixed 40% speed controller. It's not totally silent, but it is quiet even under heavy load. Like a low purr rather than the roar generated by most PCs. The noisiest bit is the harddrives clicking when accesses.
