The dryer exhaust hose would be excellent I think, you are avoiding sound 
conduction down to the blower with the non metallic hose.
Also it would be a good idea to isolate the blower from the power supply 
chassis with rubber pads for sound dampening.  
The only thing left to consider is the noise from the exhaust air coming out 
the blower.  If it is going to be six feet away in the same room, probably
on the floor ? , there will still be exhaust air noise, but should be reduced 
quite a bit.  Maybe this is a dumb idea but if it is still too loud for you 
liking,
 you could use more of the exhaust hose over to he outside wall and go thru the 
wall with a regular dryer vent.  Just brainstorming.................
