Hey Soldermizer,
That is an interesting post. FWIW I have followed the cics memory player steps and it produces zero fans and with an ssd, no moving parts. The key is to use a big heat sinc for the cpu, and undervolt and underclock. Once you get there you can remove all the fans even the ones from the 2 psus. Though I use a bit different psus which I hope are better than the 11$ you list.
For the squeamish there are fanless ones that are great. I have used this one:

3 times now. 2wice in the audio computers and once in a standard computer. No issues. Sure you could burn out 10 for the price of one, but I am not a fan of drama.
Anyhow thanks for posting.
