Should be quite possible and 0db when you are up and running. If I had other forms of noise under as much control as you do then I'd use a 1394 drive for all my local hard drive requirements and place it in another room or a closet using a longer 1394 cable. I'd personalyl prefer that to any water cooled setup but to each his own. Maybe you can boot from a USB drive these days? Will BIOS on newer systems allow that? I like my Mac Mini as I can boot it from an external 1394 drive... Cheers, Mark
