[plug] OT (?) low heat & low noise linux box for firewall?

[Ben Jensz]

The new P4s are fairly quiet and in turn I'd guess the Celerons based on 
the P4s would be also.

Noisiest part of your system would probably be the power supply fan. 
 Plenty of very quiet power supplies to choose from though to make it 
virtually dead quiet.
