The cynical in me says you need a new netbook with XFCE. My Eee 1000H fits your use case beautifully; I have fine-grained control of the fan and with

echo 80 > /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon1/pwm1

it is barely audible. And you can hook it up to a big-ass monitor. Just be sure to stay clear of that horrible Poulsbo mess and similar binary-only fiascos.
