To solve this problem, I invested in one large, fast, fileserver and then=

ran the noise-critical machines diskless, with PXE boot.  To deal with the=

noise of the fileserver, I bought an enclosed rack.

My previous solutions which did an admirable job, were to:
a) purchase the overly expensive, quiet power supplies (you can find them
   easily by going to google and searching for 'quiet power supply' or

c) use a small flash IDE device for boot
d) use an old laptop

Good luck!
