Cool/Quiet Server

I am looking for a quiet and cool running server. Needs to be fairly
powerful as it will be running intensive and repetitive data automation
tasks. Is there a specific manufacturer or model of server that markets
itself as cool and quiet? I am happy to pay up to £1000+vat but
obviously the cheaper the better! Also happy enough to buy a server and
then make a couple of modification (e.g replace fans) if that is the
best option.

I have built many PCs in the past and I am sure I could build a server.
Is this the best option if I am after something so specific? If so, are
there any components/manufacturers you would recommend for the case,
CPU, hard drive, PSU etc?

Thanks for any advice you can give.
