I'm sure that lots of people have their favorite solutions Mine is ANTEC NSK1380 case http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gAvdOd_VBnQ I use AMD BE2350 dual core, a couple of TV cards (Twinhan and DIVICO) and a 1T WD green caviar disk. This server draws 30W (at the meter with a stopwatch) and you can't hear it in the same room. (cause it's low power the CPU fan is not WINDING) For bigger boxes the passive CPU coolers are kewl http://www.auspcmarket.com.au/ CPU PARTS -> AMD SOCKET 2 -> FAN COOLERS You *can* get quiet without the technical overload.
