Instead of wanting it fanless, you ought to check out some of the quiet boxes 
with big 120mm fans.  For me, an Antec SLK-3700BQE did the job.
You can still (barely) hear it, but for all intents and purposes it's silent.
Note that I use it as backend, so the need for (some) fans is hugely more 
important than for a frontend.  You _may_ get away with a fanless one...

I use a laptop as (second) frontend.  Can't get much quieter than that...
