I wrote some notes here about three different Intel Atom based clients 
that I've seen out there based upon analysis of their specifications.

NOTE: Although it is not mentioned in the specs, this MSI Wind machine 
seems to have a fan.  26 dba sound (very quiet but not silent) is 
mentioned which is likely a fan.  Fan has the drawback of being a moving 
part that has the potential to break.  My notes talk about a 
competitor's thin client that explicitly has no fan.  The entire case 
sounds to be a heatsink, which is a good thing.

I really wish we could find something like the TranquilPC T7 Thin Client 
sold in America.
