From what I've researched water cooling is the way to go for silent
operation and/or overclocking. If you get a nice sized case you can fit all
of your components inside or attached to the case. The setup can be a pain
for the inexperienced and the initial cost is of course much higher than an
air cooled solution. Once you get it up and running there shouldn't be that
much maintenance though (as long as you're not constantly lugging it to LAN
parties).
