Large fans and heatsinks are good even on basic machines - it means low
fan speeds and therefore low noise.


A very large heat sink and low power and you can get away without any
fans at all. Ideal for a machine in a domestic setting that only needs
to deal with emails and the occasional bit of simple word processing.
