You don't have to build one. I bought a refurbished Dell Poweredge on ebay for $500 about 2 years ago and it's been running non-stop since then.
I still don't want to deal with blade servers. They are noisy and cumbersome.
Cumbersome, yes. Noisy? Only if you plan on having hundreds of people connect to it at once. Only my family and I use it and the only time it's been noisy is when it restarts after an update.
I consider a standard tower with stock cooling fans noisy and in my experience servers are noisier than that by a fair margin. You and I have different thresholds for what we're willing to put up with in terms of acoustics.
