Scsi drives will generally be that loud, maybe you can do some sound proofing matting around that area of the case, worth a shot.

Sell your P4, build an A64 rig with a high end vid card. That is the best you are going to do with what you have.

my cpu is an engineering sample...is it worth it for me to overclock it with the stuff i have for cooling etc?

my cpu is 73 degrees according to the motherboard with no overclocking...is that bad?
