So I guess I am no help at all sorry. I never had problems with Western Digital so far. I guess whatever your experience maybe. The Q6600 is an amazing cpu, probally the best right now for folding.

Why do you need such a powerfull cpu for a fileserver. Get an Amd Le and save some power. Also I really liked the review for the new enterprise level Western Digital greens 1TB, they use about 7.4watt on full load. This will save you some good power.

No cooler is perfect. I have the Scythe Ninja Rev B. I dont like the way it mounts. The Ultra 120 or Tuniq Tower with a different fan maybe be the best for you. The Tuniq Tower 120 is loud with stock fan, I saw in some reviews all full speed it touches 40db.

Hopefully you'll be able to suspend the Scythe HDD box? That would surely eliminate virtually all of the vibration. Costs will be minimal too. Should this get rid of the seek noises too.
