The ultimate would be one that's fanless.  I'm almost there, so close!

Drives need cooling too - more than CPUs, really. A processor can run
happily at 60 C, but more than 40-45 for a drive is pushing it. You'll
want some substantial heatsinking if there aren't any fans in the
system.

Fanless is nice, but why do you want a fanless server? You can't get
rid of the drives (heck, I'm thinking of getting an i-RAM for my
desktop, but that's no good for music), so there's still some noise,
and cooling will be a nightmare. Energy efficiency matters, but if the
system is stuck in a closet somewhere, does it really matter if it
makes a little noise?
