Well I have the HX750 in my wife's desktop (core i7 920, 6GB ram, dual
WD 500GB drives and a 275GTX card).  I did not notice any difference in
sound going from a Silencer 610 to the HX750.  I can hear the video card,
but nothing else as far as I can tell.

The CPU fan is a TRUE120, so that makes no noise, and the case is a TJ04
which is very sound dampening though, so hard to say.  Still it seems
very quiet.  It uses a 140mm fan, so that alone tends to make it much
quieter than those that use 80mm fans.

You can see a good review here: http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/article/741

No noise level measurements, because all the other test equipment makes
so much noise it isn't practical to do.
