Imho, for a desktop nowadays, it comes very close to be the most
important consideration since it is the machine's noisiness that either
supports or distracts my mental attention.
Doesn't it (mostly) come down to CPU heat production? (And btw. which 64 bit
CPU is using least power)?
The size of the case will affect fan requirements. A small case will
require more fans and large fans can be quieter for the same airflow.
Also, the choise of disk drives can affect noise levels too. Even case
colour can make a difference. A black case will radiate more heat,
reducing the load on the fans. Since on some systems fans are
controlled by temperature, this will reduce noise.
