I guess I am the quiet power type because for many years I ran 9x 120mm water cooled radiators cooling the CPU and GPU with the fans running at 600 rpm. The moment you do that the sound of the hard drive is deafeningly loud and so 100% SSD storage became a necessity as did ensuring the PSU was as quiet as possible. I don't do it today as its a lot of maintenance and the performance gains of doing it are much smaller today but I prefer silent machines with as much performance as I can pack into a quiet package. I change components often and I can't imagine ever feeling any form of connection to the machine, maybe because I have been through 15 different motherboards and CPUs but there isn't any nostalgia or connection value to the hardware, only on what it can do.
