I was using a large Lenovo Y70-70 laptop as a pseudo-desktop

googled for the better part of an afternoon for "fanless
desktop" and it turns out it's much harder to find one than I'd
initially thought. (Slow fanless machines are easy to find, but
I was looking for one as powerful as any desktop.)
At about the time I was ready to give up I found an obscure
site of an Israeli company that claimed to make a real i7
fanless machine. It was releases very recently, too, so I'm
thinking it might be of interest to some others.

Seems strange how lead programmers are after "silent and fanless"
computers.
An alienware alpha may have fit the bill for much cheaper. The
fan is very silent and its also compact. Fits under my monitor
stand very well.
