99% far opposite of quiet.
If you have the mounting holes: thermaltake SonicTower. With a rear case fan easily passive.

I don't think that would fit in an MSI K7N2/MS-6570 motherboard, unfortunately.
Maybe get creative?
The physical size of a socket A heatsink is 60mm X 60mm.
You can get a waterblock that size from Amazon.

Sadly it's all aluminium, not all copper, but at 12mm thick, this is similar to the 'solid part' of a socket A cooler, so the 'retention strap' could be bamboozled into going over the top to hold it down.
You could then mount a liquid radiator at the back of the case with some quieter 60mm fans on it.
I have been restoring my computer desk for couple weeks now... after finally converging the Nokia on it and putting all together, after some 2.5 years later 🤣
..Compared to earlier state, there are 3 new things :
* Extron VGA matrix with 8 inputs and 4 outputs (input from KVM, HDMI matrix and several high value sources into both monitors and projector above it all)
* Noname HDMI matrix with 6 inputs and 2 outputs (all DVI and HDMI devices, with one output to LCD and other via VGA dongle to the VGA matrix)
* 10 stereo input mixer that I built not so long ago, with ground loop cancelling inputs so no buzzing noises and anything of the like ~
The cables are a mess but I will make a much more tidy and permanent setup when I have moved to a house, which will hopefully happen in not such a long time
I also need lesser computer speakers, the right one is in such a suboptimal location...

Yesterday evening I made an ATX power extender since the cables didn't reach from PSU to the power header on my test setup that is being restored too. The mobo got extended a bit and the cables just didn't reach on the PSU...
---
Today I finally got the test computer going and I can do some misc hardware and software tests again. I need to get one of those test jig things so at least the cards are secured... My nice KVM cable barely reaches too...

+1
Had this back in 2003-4 with my Athlon XP system passive

One of the hardest things: arrange your computer desk to fit everything with limited real estate.... Nicely done!

Experimented with a bunch of ISA VGA cards to see which ones could be disabled via jumper settings.
So far the only one appears to be this Diamond Speedstar VGA. With the jumper in question closed, the card will boot up. With the jumper open, it won't.
This allows me to run an AGP card in the same system, toggling the ISA card's jumper depending on which one I want.
With this setup and being able to select AGP or PCI in the BIOS, I'm wondering if a triple AGP + PCI + ISA video card set up is possible...
For the last couple of days having been benchmarking some older/newer systems that I had forgotten I hadn't run any on. System 1 is a Compaq CQ2302F with an Intel Atom 230 1.6GHz CPU and Windows XP, System 2 is an HP Prodesk 600 G1 SFF with an i5 4440 and windows 7 (integrated video) and the last system I have been benchmarking is an HP Pavilion with an AMD Phenom II X4 960T Black Edition, 20GB DDR3 and currently running a Radeon HD 5670 1GB card. On the last system I have run Heaven 3 & 4, Valley 1.0, Sanctuary 2.3, Tropics 1.3, Aquamark 3, 3DMark03 up to 3DMark11, PCMark Vantage, PCMark 7, PCMark 8. Those last 3, man they are long tests, taking around an hour or more to complete each!

Quiet cooling is efficient cooling.
For minimum efficiency, just max out on fans and leave the case panels off - narrow heatsink and wide airflow is inefficient.
For maximum efficiency, you need material that spreads heat into an area and airflow that touches that area - matching dimensions of heatsink and to airflow path is efficient.
Theoretically, your max efficiency is met when your heatsink vanes fill the entire case and your fans drive air through the case uniformly. The exogenous constraint with Socket A is that your CPU mount has fragile plastic lugs, and if you break those lugs by attaching a massive heatsink then you lose. So, realistically, you can only slightly increase heatsink size (more vanes, not more weight) and you can't add more vibration. But, you can do a lot to shape the airflow inside of your case with pipes that direct air - like building a mini case inside your big case.
Using only PC parts, a Zalman Flower in a mini case is ideal. But, ducting is cheaper - basically, a PVC shroud and PVC plumbing.
