I also built a pc based on recommendations from http://www.silentpcreview.com/index.php. I used a Antec Sonata case http://www.silentpcreview.com/article60-page1.html based on there review and have been quite happy with it. The dives are mounted on rubber grommets and it uses large slow moving fans for airflow. The noisiest component is the video card fan. I've looked at the passive heat pipe designs but haven't spent the time on it yet. The case retails for about $100 US.
