I have set up such a system, only one passive 5770 though and a Llano APU does ~260mh on stock settings.
The only thing noticeable is the APU stock cooler which I'd have replaced soon.

Without the APU working the system is quieter than my laptop. however I will probably never get over 500mhash even with 2 5770s and some tweaking it's a nice experiment.  
The main purpose for the system is a desktop though not a dedicated mining machine for which I wouldn't use such cards with a bad mhash/$

What's the best way to minimize noise on a current mining rig? I've been considering a few options:

-Lower the fan speed of the graphics card
-Put a water block on the graphics card
-Get a fanless graphics card (one that only has a heatsink)
-Use a special cooler (such as Accelero)
-Use sound dampening strips (such as Dynamat)

Any suggestions on how to make a current rig less noisy or tips on building a new, quieter rig would be greatly appreciated.

1. No, it will overhead when mining.
2. No ^
3. No ^
4. Possibly
5. Would be your best bet.
