Im looking for some guidance on building a "quiet" computer. I understand that under certain circumstances you need to give up performance to get a cooler/quieter system.

I consider myself a novice when it comes to buying disparate parts and putting together a system. So anything thats beyond being able to sit a heatsink will be a challenge for me.

any advice or guides would be appreciated. In lieu of that, I would consider going to a VAR to build one for me.

Thanks again

And google around for a general guide on how to build a PC. There are several that will help. It's not as hard as it seems. I started out about 5 years ago, and now I can start with all the components boxed and depending on how carefully I route cables, etc. I'll have a working computer up and installing Windows in about a half hour, maybe a little less.

Just move carefully until you understand what you're doing-that's the best advice.
 
What your probably going to be looking for is fanless items or really quiet items which you should be able to get at the website he posted.
 
www.frozencpu.com is a great place for quiet fans. You can even buy sound dampening material from them, or if you order a case there you can have them install it for you. They also carry those rubber fan and psu pads, which are supposed to lower vibrational noise.
