Yay George!

Here's another possibility I just ran across: ZOTAC ZBOX

https://www.zotac.com/us/product/mini_pcs/pi320-windows-10-home

Under $200.
3 USB 2.0 ports.
Passive cooling (= No fan)

I got a Dell XPS laptop late last year and realized it's essentially silent. Fan hardly ever runs and the difference in the noise floor when it does is negligible. It's a power hungry quadcore i7 and I frequently have 20 tabs + Adobe audition, as well.

I use to have a MacBook air, that thing was quite loud when the fan turned on, which it does have, contrary to what many say.

The only fanless Mac in production is the Macbook, NOT the Macbook Air. Typing on a Macbook Air now. Like any PC, it gets louder with age as the cooling system gets clogged with dust and hair. My 2014 is still quiet as a mouse unless I am rendering video.
