Yes there are quite a few good server brands which make entry level servers with hot swap SATA drives. HP Proliants, Dell PowerEdges.
Rack servers aren't always noisy, 1U models tend to be a little noisier, but 2U models don't need as many fans and are usually a little more quiet.
Sticking with a good tier 1 brand, you don't have to worry about one having a problem as much as you would with some no-name or cloner brand. So paying more for 1 server may come out cheaper than paying for 2 lesser quality boxes.
