question on PSUs

At what point would it make sense to use linear, non-switching, power supplies instead? I realize they're big and expensive, but if you've figured out how to divide up the PC's power needs, and if we're in any case using relatively low amounts of power, would it make sense to employ an inherently quieter design for the critical parts?

Thanks for posting all this stuff, cics! Even for those of us operating at lower levels of perfection, your work has been a source of lots of good hardware and software ideas.
