Mini-PC w/o Fans?

blinky2 asks: "I just read this article on Tom's Hardware about small PC-cases. I would really like to have a small box next to my current one for development stuff etc. Here's the problem: I don't want to have any fans in it, and case like the one in the article needs heavy cooling. Is there anything out there that is small and doesn't need any cooling? the box should run 24/7 here in my room and i don't want to hear some noise while I sleep. A case like the SAX01 from Gigabyte would be nice, too. BTW, there is no need for a high-performance box: something like 300-500 Mhz with a moderate amount of RAM would be enough." A while ago, Ask Slashdot tackled this very question, has the intervening time made such a system a practical possibility?

  Yup, this message now appears at the top of the posts - so /. is actually sorting the posts in the opposite order of whatever I actually select. Superb! Quality results everytime, guys.....

  Whoops - it's actually worse than that. The comment-order box seems to be even more broken than that. Selecting "newest first" doesn't seem to help matters, and the rest of the options produce similarly bizarre results. Ho hum.
