sLowEnd, I guess it depends on your definition of what "loud" is. The most obvious thing would be to make sure the motherboard is passively cooled. Most newer chipsets are so that shouldn't be an issue. I use to carry these fans and they were very quite. They didn't push a whole lot of air but they were perfect at the time. In regards to a PSU, surprisingly my VX550 is very quit even under load. The 120mm fans that are in these power supplies are hardly audible.
What do you plan on doing with this new build?
Good luck

I just want to get a good idea of what people think is quiet.

Also i think my PC is quiet when i turn my music on (almost all the time ), so i believe music is the best way of getting a quiet system

sLowEnd, we have some small form factor HP7100's at work that in my opinion are virtually silent. There is only two fans in the case. There is one fan that is near the front bezel exhausting air through a shroud that covers the heatsink and the other is in the power supply. Though I think if the machine was installed in a tight area (ex. closed cabinet) there may be heat related issues.
I hope that helps. I apologize, I thought you were building a new rig
