I have had a fanless desktop for 3 years now, it's a Core i7
3770k. Dunno what the power draw is, but for passive cooling I
went for
1. A specical, very well ventilated case.
2. A massive passive CPU cooler.
3. A fanless power supply.
4. A fanless graphics card (that can still drive 3x1200p monitors
for desktop use, a SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 6450)

The thing to watch out for is that these passive CPU coolers are
huge, so you have to be sure they will fit in your case.
Currently thinking of upgrading the graphics card to one that can
drive a 4k monitor, or two ... :-)
