How about a mini tower type unit? I've just bought one of these:

http://www.asus.com/products.aspx?l1=9&l2=40&l3=121&model=1017&modelmenu=2

and while the fans can crank themselves up to full turbo mode, when 
running all the usual stuff I do to soaktest my servers, they've stayed at 
the lowest possible speed and have been very quiet.

(and you can stuff GB of RAM and a dual-core processor in it which would 
satisfy the asterisk needs of a small office trivially!)

Or if you really need to put it in a rack, a fanless 1GHz Via processor in 
a 1U rack fitted with a 2.5" laptop drive will more than satisfy your 
needs for 10 users.
