I think most guys that have familiarity with electronics will choose fanless with big heat sinks over a more compact chassis with a fan. The reason that there is heat to dissipate is the use of larger current carrying devices like MOSFET's, IC's, and transistor regulators. All of those will heat up when passing current and need a heatsink interface. It's sometimes more elegant to use a larger heatsink than using smaller ones and a fan.
