maybe a good pair of closed back headphones rather then silencing your hardware parts.

I think I remember reading something in PC Gamer UK mag about using wire ties to dangle it in the air, seemed quite clever and reasonable.

replace all your fans with either Scythe S-Flex fans or the new Cooler Master fans

Replace your fans with Scythe S-Flex, Put sound dampening material throughout your case. You will no longer hear betsy crying.
