To solve this problem, I invested in one large, fast, fileserver and then
ran the noise-critical machines diskless, with PXE boot. To deal with the
noise of the fileserver, I bought an enclosed rack.
My previous solutions which did an admirable job, were to:
a) purchase the overly expensive, quiet power supplies (you can find them
easily by going to google and searching for 'quiet power supply' or
some such similar thing)
b) run fans under standard voltage, with an underclocked CPU
c) use a small flash IDE device for boot
d) use an old laptop
Good luck!
