Yes, but you do not have to go that far to get a fanless desktop.

I have an Intel NUC running Linux (debian).

About 5 years ago I replaced the case with a fanless case (Akasa). It took very little time, there was just some screws and a cable to attach the USB ports.

The original case with fan was not particularly noisy. But it is just so much more relaxing working or reading without the fan.
