Ive got 3 HD's on my game pc and I want to move them to a file server machine. What I would like is some suggestions on the spec of the machine. The main objective is for the system to be fanless and quite, have lan, and be as cheap as possible. As I will only use it as a file server the cpu and memory can be very low spec and it should have an onboard graphics card. I want to reuse the 3.5" HDD's.

Basically Im asking what kind of spec machine needs no cooling at all.

All ideas would be appreciated.
