budget is of no objiect since this will ber gradual, i used yate loon fans before and they are cheap but i really want 2 efficient/quiet 80mm ones and a nice, maybe even passive heatsink for the cpu
The best 80mm fans I've used are Panaflo fans. I haven't heard of any one doing passive cooling on a Q6600 yet, but a Thermalright Ultra 120 eXtreme and a 120mm Scythe S-Flex-SFF21D would be mighty quiet.
About the slot cooler, I've never heard of a slot cooler that was characterized as quiet.
One thing I would recommend to help quiet your fans and maximize the performance of your rig is a fan bus or some other guaranteed method of adjusting fan speed on the fly.
I'd recommend Jab-Tech.com for all those parts I mentioned.
depending on what you are using the 80mm fans for, arctic cooling makes one suspended on rubber grommets that moves a ton of air while being inaudible over my psu (corsair hx520)
