Booting of sata enclosure, and putting away

I was thinking in order to get rid of my hard drives noise, is by putting it in a way sata enclosure. And boot from it. Put the sata enclosure away in a desk door, so I cannot heard the noise.
Is this a bad idea, will the hard drive over heat, or its inpossible to boot of sata enclosure.

Confused on how TDP works AMD

Could someone quickly explain to me, what does it mean when Amd says their EE x2 3800+ TDP is 35watts, does this mean it uses 35watts at full load for both cores, or each core uses 35watts x 2, 70watts.
Thanks
