That is a godly fan, but I highly doubt that anyone could stand the sound level of it. At 66dB, it blows away just about any fan in the sound department. I'm running 3x 56dB fans and I definitely wouldn't be able to stand them running at full speed all the time.

I am building a sound proof cabinet for my computers so I cannot here them at all.

1/2" or 7/16" ID tubing with 1/2" G1/4 barbs or compression nozzles. (You can use 7/16" with 1/2" fittings - gives a nice tight fit.
If you go for nozzles make sure you check the OD of the tubing is compatible with the nozzles you buy. (there's a big difference between 3/4" OD and 5/8" OD).
ID = inside diameter (the internal x-section)
OD = outside dia.
And as Javier said, make sure your soundproof box has enough 'clean' airflow through it - absolutely no point in circulating air with an ever-increasing ambient temp through those uber fans. Yod do realise that 66dB is about equivalent to a busy road? You're going to need some good soundproofing

I'd go 1/2' ID tubing an barbs/compressions of your choice. I hear the 355 with a swapped top is a better pump however and if you're going to put that much fan power on a rad you might as well get the gtx version

355 with a custom top gives a bit more head pressure, but the 655 has better flow. With only the CPU in the loop pressure is not really an issue unless you have a seriously high pressure block. You can fit a custom top to a 655 too.. (DetroitAC or EK are both very good).

I was going to say the same, about the soundproofing, dont just seal a box and line it. You'd have to use methods to absorb and deflect sound so that you can still get venting. Or those fans will be pretty useless.
