I've heard that water cooling systems can get noisy, maybe not right off the bat, but look at your average fan and heatsink combo, most of them aren't loud right out of the package, most take time to get loud (the Volcano is an exception...I've played with one but it was too loud for my PC. My computer is always running and its near the TV...)
Sidenote:
I always keep the side of my PC off, or I too have overheating issues...
Its kinda hard to get off topic when the thread is "Wow!!!"

My Radeon had got the noise out of the package ! And Water-Cooling aren't noisy . My friend got one , and the pump is noiseless , the fan is on 5 Volt... Its a good choice for people with good ears and a High end system...
Kage , what case have you got ? If you get overheating issues with a closed case , replace it ! I would recommend a CS-601 , it looks nice and it is cooling like a fridge (you only need some PAPST fans (around 15DBa)) ^_^
@Gladiac : I would buy a seagate HDD , it's unhearable ^_^

I'm actually on the lookout for a new PC case (not just for heat, but I'm getting sick of looking at mine
)The CS-601 isn't a bad looking case, my only problem with it is the door in the front of the drives, I'm just not the biggest fan of that, thats just me.
Part of my heat issues are coming from my stupid northbridge fan and heatsink which is trying to stall out on me all the time (I hate the cheapness of chipset fans, I need to find a good one). That and my 9700 Pro pumps out ALOT of heat.

Ok , the fan on the northbridge is completely useless . Put it off , trust me , i did it with 3 mainboards , the heat doesn't change a bit .
And the front door can be put off , if you don't like it . The door is very fragile and breaks in a week anyways ^_^
/edit : Ok , and for the Graphics card , you could use the Zalman VGA silencer , a silent VGA cooler with average cooling properties !

I saw this one cooling system, it costs around 1000 aus, but they overclocked a pentium 4 3ghz to 4 ghz. Myself, I think overclocking is lame, is shortens the lifetime of your hardware, and you have to buy cooling systems with money better spent on actually UPGRADING your processor.

Vegetable , the cooling system you mentioned was a vaporisator , it cools down the CPU with liquid Nitrogen to around -40° ! But its very dangerous , i saw it in a video . They held a flower in a Metal bottle full of liquid nitrogen , the flower was breakable like glass , ouch...
I don't know how to put the names on the quotes (i got anonymuos quotes) , i think overclocking is easier than making quotes ^_^

probably very good since it's the only videocard that is able to work with the newest unrealengine (unrealengine3)
here's a vid,if you listen closely you can hear the one who's giving the explanation say it: http://www.shinyidol.com/crap/unreal3_0002.wmv
My Radeon 9800Pro laughs itself silly at the puny graphics Zelda tries to render and still of course it doesn't run fast
The bottleneck is the CPU (yes, dolphin says that 50% of the performance goes to graphics, but that number mostly means graphics display list decoding and things like that, and that's done on the CPU), so no matter how fast the crazy dual-power-rail GF6800 is, it won't help at all.
