fanless hardware for selfhosting lxd/docker

Hi,
I am planning to setup a home servering can get a remote desktop on via the webinterface Guacamole. I havehadit ona huge Servet before but this Time I really need it to Bea fanless server.
I need 32gb+ of ram and at least 1tb SSD. Enough CPU power to serve a linux desktop running in lxd via a quacamole in a docker image.

Any recommendationsfor good hardware that isnt crazy expensive?

I have built mine this way, reusing a very old 'normal' tower case:

Take a CPU with limited TDP, like 35W or 65W. Use a passive CPU cooler. Use a semi-passive power supply that is too strong for the actual need, so it's going to stay in it's passive state all the time - they are cheaper than the real passive ones.

Then use 1 really large fan (25 or 30 cm) that goes at the side of the tower case. It turns very slow because of it's size, so it is nearly inaudible. No other fans.

You can get 12V power dividers that plug into a 120 watt laptop adapter, if you keep your energy requirements down it saves quite a bit of space, noise and cost
