It could possibly be my PSU fan, but I don't see how I could run my system without a PSU fan.

You can get PSU's with no fan, or a VERY quiet fan. Also try and use 120mm low rpm fans in your case if you can, like a panaflo low flo. That right there will bring down your noise a lot. Then you can go with third party fans for your video card/cpu and northbridge even.

Currently my primary comp is pretty quiet, I use a Zalman 9500 for my CPU, a Zalman VF900 for the video card, and a Silverstone PSU which is very quiet.
