I don'tthink anyone has brought this up yet, but a moderately low cost thing to do would be to replace the fans in the server. There are some nice aftermarket and super quiet fans.

For example http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835608026

or just google for ultra quiet computer fan, etc..

Just a thought.

 Yes, the price for the "fully loaded" server is <$1000.  It's a small
 server, non-rack mount.  That's the one I was considering if there are no
 others of its ilk made by other manufacturers.

 I'm also looking at the cloud based solution as many others have
 suggested.
