I wish you the best of luck on your silencing. Let us know how it goes.

I agree that fans on video cards are a big issue. I wish there was a way I could just put huge-ass heat sinks on my CPU and my video card, and then pipe the airflow from my power supply over them.

I've seen some OEM systems that do this, and I'd like to see that sort of solution from aftermarket PC-builder sites.
