My quiet build-to-be...
Here are the (potential) specs of the quiet system I want to build:
CPU:
Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 Processor BX80557E6750 - 2.66GHz, 4MB Cache, 1333MHz FSB
Motherboard:
Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3R
RAM:
Patriot Extreme Performance DDR2 Dual Channel 4GB (2 x 2GB) PC2-6400(800MHz) CL 4-4-4-12 Low Latency DIMM Kit (PDC24G6400LLK )
DVD-RW:
LITEON LH-20A1L(Black) SATA LightScribe 20X DVD-Writer
Case:
Antec P182 Advanced Super Mid Tower Case- Gun Metal Black
PSU:
Corsair HX Series CMPSU-620HX SILENT 620W ATX Triple Power Supply 120MM Fan 12V 50A Continuous 24PIN ATX Modular
CPU Cooler:
Scythe Andy Samurai Master
Video Card:
EVGA GeForce 8800 GTS Video Card - 512MB GDDR3
Hard Drive:
Existing 500 Gb Seagate SATA
What do you think? Will it be quiet? I presume the fan that comes with the Andy is PWM capable? Will it fit in my case with my mobo?
I wanted the Ninja, but unfortunately it is not available to me locally. All they had was the Andy but from the review here it seemed to be quiet.
Also note that I will not be OC'ing the CPU in the near future.
Thanks!!!

Well, I am going to try to be short as possible.
1: One again... your PSU is an overkill. If you truly want a quiet rig go look for 425Pro82+ or Modu82+. 425W should be more than enough. You can go to SPCR's basis,and of course 625W Modu82+ review, for more details.
2: HSF: I would advice/recommand a Noctua HSF because you really have a fair bargain with a good HS and a truly silent fan. Moreover you have extra adapters (LNA-900rpm, ULNA-600rpm) so PWM is not really matter. You really have the bang for your monies with this HSF. But it shouldn't be easy to get one in the US. You can check out the last article on AnandTech for more details.
3: HDD: you really need to go read SPCR's recommended HDDs if you truly want a quiet rig once again.
4: VGA HSF: well, you have only 2 choice: Accelero S1? I'm not sure about the compatibility with a GTS; or a HR-03.
Good luck.
EDIT: S1 Rev.2 compatibility with a GTS512 is not a issue at all.

just wasn't aware of that, my bad.
about the Andy Samurai though, i don't think its PWM.
on the flip side, you could get a PWM 120mm fan to use on the heatsink without a problem.

or you might try looking for an Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro. 92mm fan, PWM control, and its been reviewed here: http://www.silentpcreview.com/article285-page1.html

no PWM.The fan speed is constant at 1200rpm, providing 49.58CFM airflow at a noise of 20.94dBA.

Ok good news, I found an Accelero S1 Rev 2. Also, this place sells the Noctua NH-U12F and the Ninja Rev B.
This is a dumb question, but will the Ninja run at 12V constant if plugged into the motherboard since the fans do not have pwm functionality? Sorry for the dumb question.
Basically, will Speedfan for example allow me to control my Scythe Ninja with 3pin connected to the motherboard CPU FAN slot?
Thanks!
