consider watercooling, you can get good cheap systems and it is not only silent, it performs better too, and it is good even if you are a non overclocker ( you could also save some money be buying a XP1900 , spend it on a watercooling and overclock ya processor 66 mhz, so ya get a XP2000 and the temps wont rise over 1°C - if ya would go for a normal XP2000 and aircooling ya temps may be 10°C higher)

with watercooling you could also make your system dust-free. dust can kill transistors. also, if you do watercooling, use distilled water, cuz it is pure water and pure water without all those minerals doesn't conduct electricity.

Not too hip on Water Cooling guys, I've heard that with water cooling you get condensation, is this correct?

Ya ya, bring me up to speed. I'm an oldtimer behind the times
