Assuming you have a suitable place to put the PC on the end of
the cables.

I bet wholesale the price difference between silent components
and fanned is pretty small, probably of the order of a couple of
quid per PC.

If someone could guarantee sales of a few hundred it would be
worth doing, paying retail and retrofitting the equipment costs
more than my PC's are worth.
