You can use old Pentium II 400 MHz - there are still many of them available,
which doesn't need any cooler, its radiator will do. Such way the only
moving part would be PS-fan, which you can slow down a little, using
a resistor 50-100 Ohm - additionally reducing a noise.

"Full" Pentium II with 400 MHz clock will give you in practice about as much
power, as that Celeron 700 (a little less, but not that much).
