I'd go with a different case, PSU, HD, and source the CPU from another vendor. Techonweb and tankguys list the E6600 for a fair bit less, but alas, they're both out of stock.
EDIT: I'd try a Scythe Ninja for semi-passive (exhaust) cooling, too.

Remember, when you're talking 0dB, ANYTHING that can move will cause noise. Don't forget about the transformers, boiling fluid in heat pipes, etc. ;) If my transformers were moving, I think I'd have bigger concerns than the associated noise... http://www.federalpacific.com/university/transnoise/cha...

Any reason why you're going with the M2N32-SLI over the M2N-E? To be honest, I've researched and flip-flopped between them both. If I could find a really good comparison review of the two, I might still land on the side of the M2N-E, but absent that, I erred on the side of features! :) Which featur...
