Yes.  On a personal level I've got five fans on the shelf for my own 
domestic firewall/router.  I found it was the best way of future 
proofing some old 100Mhz i386 hardware.  I got round to the scrap 
computer philosophy for firewalls eventually but they do make a lot of 
noise.  Find a hard disk in a skip somewhere. A board that's been thrown 
away.  And, so forth.

Best to think ahead :)
