A good resource for this is http://www.silentpcreview.com/

The main server in my office is in an Antec Sonata II case, housing two
hard disks and an Athlon64 X2 3800+. It's quiet enough that it gets
drowned out by air coming through the furnace vent in the room. Even
right beside it I can barely hear the thing, and it's running reasonably
cool. Still, that' s not truly silent.

What _is_ "truly silent"? It's far from an obvious description,
