The noisiest fans in my system are the case fans. They're only 80 mm and 
one runs constantly. Avoid small fans at all cost IMHO. I have a fanless 
video card and 120 mm fan on the power supply.

I have 3 Western Digital drives: 500 MB, 1 TB and 2 TB. They're all 
Green drives and so far I've had no problems with them.

My Asus motherboard has onboard video but it was no problem to disable 
it when I put in a better video card.

Some people like to leave their systems on 24/7 but I like to save the 
planet :) so I have mine set up to power down after I log off and power 
up again when myth needs to record something.
