Have you considered buying a silent computer? I think it would be cheaper than an enclosure. Depends what type of power you need though. Mac Mini is good for this or maybe ATOM if you can get by with it. An easy solution I've used before is to stack a small wall of books in front of a loud device. Don't fully enclose it just make a little wall between yourself and the laptop. It may not erase the sound entirely but it will definitely smooth out the higher frequencies.

Here's another reseller of such cabinets: http://www.acoustiproducts.com http://www.acoustiproducts.com But I second what jsz0 said, the pricing is normally prohibitive for personal use. Their cheapest offering (the orion) starts at around 650 USD - and that generally seems to be about the starting range for these things. That money is better spent on a Mac Mini, or if you need more extensibility from your server then have a look at your local "silent pc dealer" - various levels of noise reduction can be had, from dampened cases to completely passively cooled systems. Personally I can recommend the stupendously awesome products from http://www.hfx.at/ http://www.hfx.at/. Reasonably priced, absolutely stellar build quality - and no fans (heatpipes for everything).
