No such thing. Never seen nor heard of one. How many were made? Where 
can you buy one?

Brand new news to me. With no fan?

Definitely has a fan on it. You know of one without a fan? Never heard 
of one fitting.

Fanless in Cube? Really? 64MB or 128 MB? Never heard of one fitting. If 
it does, I want one.

Does not work with OS X. I know this because I had to return one I 
bought from ProMax.
