Check out this power supply:

Buy a fanless video card. 

Get bigger (12cm or more) fans for your case; they don't need to turn as fast 
to be effective at cooling. 

The nicer cases have little rubber pieces that you put the drive screws 
through, thus negating drive vibrations. 

As for the CPU fan, get a nice zalman cooler... 

Thanks, 
Ward.
