DO NOT start working in a PSU 5mins after powering down. These things can hold enough charge to kill you for hours and hours! I usually turn off and remove the powercord from a machine at least overnight then hit the power button a few times to discharge the capacitors in the unit, before even opening it. But if you don't even have this minimum of knowledge about them please do not even go near them. They are very dangerous. Just like a TV in fact.
As for SCSI drives, they tend to be noiser. Especially as they spin at 10k-15K these days compared to 5400-7200 for IDE drives. Though theres 10k IDE drives on the way. http://www.storagereview.com/ has found some SCSI drives in the past that were pretty quiet. I don't have a specific link but if you go there and scout about you might find some more info. This link in the forum had some info. http://forums.storagereview.net/viewtopic.php?t=8680&highlight=quiet+scsi+dr ives and also http://forums.storagereview.net/viewtopic.php?t=8732&highlight=quiet+scsi+dr ives -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
