I once took an old VCR, ripped the guts out, and turned it into a media PC.
 Worked quite well, and was 100% fanless and silent.  Of course, it was
quite low spec to go fanless, but with some clever thinking, a bit of
cardboard and sticky-backed plastic, you can make a fan-driven system very
quiet, if not silent.

Cheers,
Andy
