I just got a shuttle sv24 with a PIII. It is a great little machine and yes, it is loud as hell.
Shuttle makes quality products so yes, you should however get one of the just released models (sv25 or higher) because they have better sound, video, and take faster processors. They may have even addressed the loud fan issue...I don't know. >>
Yeah the SV24 stock PS fan is a screamer, I replaced the PS 40mm fan and the 60mm exhaust fan with ones I ordered from this website, which has fans and LEDs for SV24 specificly, http://www.issuespotting.com/fans/ a lot of his stuff is out of stock tho but those are some good fans.
