[mythtv-users] Dead silent backend ?

Hi

I've never been happy with the noise made by my backend
I bought a silent CPU fan, a so called silent case (Antec Sonata
III).. But with 7 hard drives, it's never been perfectly silent and
always annoyed me to the point that I put it outside the cinema room ,
in an adjacent room, wiring everything so it would drive the projector
.

So currently, I can't hear or see anything because well, it's not in
the same room :)

Long story short, I need the room where the backend is now.
I can't be bothered rewiring everything again so the backend would
still be outside my cinema room. Plus the only spare room is my office
which often acts as a guest room, and I want my guests to sleep well,
and not complain about a PC being on.

So I was hoping to maybe try again having the backend in the cinema
room, this time in a really silent case.. and by silent I mean silent.

What would you recommend for a case , I often read about the Antec
P182/183 as being the quietest....
Probably try a passive CPU cooler (Used a Zalman cooler, which after
only 8 months became noisy)..

Thanks
