Silent hard disk? Buy a Seagate barracuda with FDB. I've got an ST340016A, which runs at less than 2.5 bels (read: inaudible) even when seeking. They make larger models as well that don't go above 2.5bels as well. These drives are incredible. Plus, they run cool, so if you have variable-speed fans that will slow down, your whole box will be pretty damned quiet (unless you've got high-RPM CPU/GPU fans and you keep the box busy).
