<pre wrap="">Hello,
First, thanks to everyone to responded to my first e-mail:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://mythtv.org/pipermail/mythtv-users/2008-November/238792.html">http://mythtv.org/pipermail/mythtv-users/2008-November/238792.html</a>
So given people's comments in there, I'm exploring building a MythTV box myself.
The first thing I'd like a MythTV box (that I would build) to be, is
to be quiet. Completely silent if possible. Does anyone have any
advice or experience in doing this?

Charles,
I recently built a PC to replace my aging P4 box. It's not running
MythTV, but I built it to be quiet and it's working out well. I'll
give you a list of components and you can see what makes sense for
your MythTV setup.
Antec Solo case (recommended on silentpcreview.com)
Replaced Antec 12cm fan with Scythe S-FLEX SFF21E
Seasonic Power Supply (also recommended)
Asus P5K Pro motherboard (fanless northbridge)
Core 2 Duo E6300 with stock cooler (quiet)
(2) Samsung 250GB SP2504C Drives (older and quiet)
Nvidia GeForce 7300LE (fanless, fast enough for my needs)

Just something to watch with the fanless northbridge motherboards.<br>
Allot of them use the fan on the CPU to blow air through the heatsink
on top of the chipset.<br>

I had a mbo become unstable when I put a water cooler on.<br>
