If it's for a frontend get a 4400rpm >60gb laptop HDD with a 2.5"-3.5" IDE adapter. It'll be nice and quiet. Don't use anything less than a recent 60gb HDD or the noises made by the heads when in use will drive you nuts.

It is possible to reduce seek noise with hdparm. I have done it with my apache server which is running less than a meter from my right ear. Quiet as a mouse now. I have not noticed performance effect in my use but there might be some in heavy duty usage.
