I have SSD in the current machine but I also have a 1TB data drive. Good point about SSD - maybe I should spec. a second SSD for the data drive to remove another moving part.
One of the guys here has a killer water-cooled rig but I wanted less complexity. And with water-cooled you still lose the 'silent'.

@hippy if you can justify all those things then go for it, it a gonna be a fantastic pc to use and will last ages. SSD is the single best upgrade you can buy for a pc and stays with the silent theme which is good.
I haven't looked at the case or site you're using but I think the fanless requirement is holding you back, if you feel like making a tiny compromise down the road, I'm pretty sure you can buy closed loop water cooled gpus. Would be quiet, but not silent, easy to set up (come with coolant/hoses etc all hooked up) and satisfy the underlying pc geek.
