You can get zalman fanless solutions for ati & nvidia boards these days
to
replace the fans in them, and though I haven't tried em, but any review
I've seen suggests that seqgate barracuda v's are about the quietest thing
on the planet.
samsungs recent models are getting some good press too.
I normally use maxtor or (gasp!) ibm so not the quietest around.

have used a zalman graphics kit myself - but fiddly, takes up too much
space, but does the job fine (a bit like your water cooling no doubt ;))

cheers,

Tony
