You can easily buy an old machine, such as an AMD Althon (or now the LE processors) or a Pentium 4 machine.

If you use the stock fan that comes with the processor, they are generally really quiet. Things only getting louder when you start adding more things and fans.

I have an AMD LE1600 2.2GHz single core machine...the only things it has inside the case are motherboard, processor, PSU, hard drive and dvd drive. I don't need things like graphics/sound cards, multiple drives, or anything like that. Cooling isn't a problem, as it runs at around 30 ish degrees on the processor fan. (+1 12cm rear silent fan) I can barely hear it. It can easily handle php demands.
