For a cool and quiet x86 PC running Linux, I'd recommend mini-itx
('here' (http://www.itx-warehouse.co.uk) and 'here'
(http://www.mini-itx.com/store/) in the UK) using VIA EPIA CPUs.
I recently built myself a ITX based "slimserver appliance" for my
own use. Not cheap, not ready for that huge FLAC collection (due to
2.5HD), but much fun. I described it in the following posting:

As I'm still tinkering a lot I don't really have great uptimes to
report, yet. But I've finished a first 24/7 cycle :-).
I almost did the same thing, but I just bought a mac mini instead.
Out of curiosity, how much did your server end up costing you to put together?
