Shuttle have a pretty good thing going with their cases, though the shape is a little inconvenient. They use a liquid-cooling system to drain heat from the CPU. Mine -- with a 1.6GHz Celeron -- was pretty quiet until I made the mistake of putting a big disk in it. I've since opted for a bigger case and more standard parts, with long cables so it can go in a room where the noise doesn't matter. Works beautifully now, though I use WebVCR+ for the recording side.
