For noiseless pc use.
Mini-ITX mobo with only heatsink. Also usually Mini-ITX PSU's are fanless.
There is Intel® Desktop Board D510MO with atom cpu integrated.

And there is newer model Intel® Desktop Board DH57JG

But i'm not shure if any of this cpu's can run only with heatsink. For only audio playback u can underclock cpu (if it gets hot, but it should not get hot).
And Xeon server boards use only heatsink sometimes for some cpu's and they work under constand non-stop load.
Xeon L3406 (30W)
i3-530 (73W)
i5-650 (73W)
Then there are Intel Atom netbooks:

I have one of the Nexus case fan (PWM SERIES) with Ultra soft fan mounts.
It's very very silent (almost noiseless). http://www.nexustek.nl/NXS-silentcasefans.htm
