Is the only possible way to build a totally silent computer Water cooling and a silent power supply? Is there anyway to build a computer with just passive heat dispersion instead of water or fan cooling?

The easiest way to get it silent, is to put the machine in a different room, and just run some cables through the wall..

But how can i "build" a main power switch, so that i can turn it on right from my desk? Is there a way without too much messing around with the motherboard/case? The DVD/CD ROM wouldnt be a problem since i could buy a external USB version.
Any ideas would be appreciated!
