Well, I'm going with a 2.8 and a 15k rpm drive (the one I linked earlier), but now I'm having problems finding a cooler that will encase the drive and has a black bezel....

Gurm: I meant computers running XP being used as a server... There must be configurations like that...?
Gurm: If a reviewer finds a 15K drive silent, it is meant in reference to other similar spec drives...
Thop: IBM still also has 3 years on IDE drives.
BuddMan: Guru makes a very valid point about the drivespace needed when doing video-editing.
isochar: I opted for a special case, the Lian Li PC70. It has 6 hidden 3.5" drive bays that have 2 80 mm fans in front of them (there also is a speedswitch with 3 settings controlling these 2 fans). It requires less 5.25" drivebays.
