Anyone remember those old dot-matrix printer enclosures?  Big enough to put
a baby in, yet they have a fan so the baby doesn't suffocate...  Sound
insulated for teething.  Try getting some of those second-hand and putting
the loudest equipment in there.

Otherwise I'd recommend you switch to liquid cooled.  It's kind of interesting
after having worked on midrange computers for a long time to go into the
mainframe room of the data center.  It's quiet...  TOO quiet.
