iBooks do have fans, but they rarely if ever come on. My iBook is pretty much silent except when reading a new disc. You can get a used iBook (G3) with a warranty for about $289. Use the firewire for your drives (notebook drives are almost silent) and the usb for your dac or your usb to spdif converter.I've been using an iBook (G4) this way for 2 years and haven't had any issues. it will take about 5 minutes to set up and you are done.

PS Please note that the G3 iBooks support USB 1 and not 2 ( I think) if that makes a difference to you.
