Fans are the main noise maker. Quite a few fans these days can be run at a variable speed - they usually run at a pretty slow rpm (and hence aren't as loud). Only when they need to do they spin up to full speed. Did you actually buy this type of fan, or just some ordinary ones? Were they just case fans? Chances are you can survive without them. Also, the fan in your PSU is noisy. So you can buy a quiter PSU. Oh, the little fan on the northbridge on your mobo can be unplugged. It probably isn't very loud, but mine started to die a whirring (loud) death soon after I bought my mobo. I just unplugged it and it has been fine.
