I have a gaming machine, when building i did not care for sound, but now my roommate is complainging. I have alot of fans and lights on my computer. my build is core i7, engtx260, 6gb ram, asus p6t deluxe v2, my current case is: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811156063, it has a light which i cant turn off, which also bothers my roommate. but not as much. ive heard watercooling is silent, but i have no clue what to buy. i can replace my case so i can enclose everything.
You cannot have a powerful silent computer. You can get a quiet computer, but silent is an absolute and would require no moving parts. You can get an aftermarket video card passive cooler for around $70. Then get a large CPU heatsink with quiet fans. Try replacing all of your system's fans with ones under 12 DBA, I recommend these ones at 6 DBA http://www.frozencpu.com/products/8400/fan-516/Noiseblocker_NB-Multiframe_M12-S1_120mmx25mm_Ultra_Silent_Fan_-_750_RPM_-_below_6_dBA.html?tl=g33c165s358
