I use an ITeX Apollo based PCI ADSL modem, in an old Linux box. It's my
gateway, router, firewall, print server, etc.
Additionally, I modified it so that:-

-  no cpu fan (cpu underclocked)
- PSU fan runs on 5v instead of 12v, and is silent.

I use CORE linux, which is a tiny distribution, and a complex initrd. My
machine boots the kernel from the disk, then creates a large ramdisk,
creates a filesystem on it, untar's a root fs to the ramdisk, then tells the
kernel that the root fs has changed. Then, I can turn off the harddisk. So,
my machine is almost completely silent.

PS. Email me if you want more info on how to set that up.
