I second that.  I have a diskless frontend (using pxe and ltsp, not a thumb
drive) in an antec nsk2480 (
http://www.antec.com/Believe_it/product1.php?id=MzI=) and it's just about
silent.  My dlp tv has a small fan that is actually much louder than the
case+included ps+athlon x2 with stock fan.  I say "much louder", but in
reality I can't hear either over what I'm watching even at low volume
levels.  People tend to REALLY underestimate how much noise a HD makes.
