Does this one have fan; or it's fan-less? What is the cooling mechanism for the device? Can't tell from the pictures.

There are no fans. This is not an active device that does any sort of processing.

Can't really say what the cooling mechanism is ... but mine has no fan. I have two of these and have been quite happy with them.

It is fan less - no noise. The injector panel has all the transformers required to merge power and data onto the same Ethernet wire, but this does not great much heat. The power brick converts 110/240 volts to 48v at about 90% or more effeciency - so it will only get a little warm and needs no fan.

There is a place for an optional fan, or maybe they just didn't bother to re-design the cabinet. I have three of these and I considered getting fans from Jameco or someplace but they run pretty cool. So I never bothered to put a fan in. So my answer is that it just appears that there is a fan in it. There is no fan in it and as far as I can tell it doesn't need on. One of my 3 drives is active 24/7, very active, as it records 2 (sometimes 3) video channels simultaneously and will also play one another video channel. So up to four open files at once and, well, the little green light flashes fast, a lot, what else can I say!

Mine has two small cooling fans. About the size of fans you see in a computer. Seems to do the job.

No detectable noise and no fan that I saw. However, there are vents along the side so I'm guessing there is some kind of ventilation system to keep it cool. Whatever or however it does that, noise is not a factor.

Yes, it has a fan. Unfortunately, I had to return both of the units I had because the switch was inoperable on both of them. I'm looking for something else now.

We own a tower PC, but the fan slides into a slot in the tower n I can't see what's the difference between one unit from the other! The fan is just a fan! So why would it matter...it's only cooling the unit when on n I doubt the fan care whether it's connected to either systems. If I'm wrong, first check with the computer company if your so concerned. Ok

It does have a fan, but it's very quiet. Bluetooth has never worked on mine, and I had to install a micro-USB Bluetooth adapter to get Bluetooth.

Remember it's a "fan" not an air conditioner. Cooling is from air motion alone.

I'm not sure about that description, but the cooling base has three 2" fans and plugs in a USB port and has a feed thru. They are well worth the money and mine was still running fine when I sold it a month ago, and it never ran hot after I started using it. Forget the discription, and buy it. Best Bang for your buck in this category. It's as good a cooler as the expensive ones, so don't waste your money on the big names, and save on this cooler. It's not bullet proof, but I have dropped, and sat on it and it didn't break. Hope this helps you make a good choice??

It seems that all devices that run Intel Cores must have some kind of ventilation, especially the mid-range models and above. This tablet runs Intel Core i5 so it must have fans to cool the system. So unfortunately, it doesn't have a fanless design. ):

From what I can tell, it comes with only one fan. I just finished a 2 hour gaming session at max settings (fan overdrive off) and its only a little warm under the left side. I can assume that if I had the overdrive off, it may not be warm at all. I have had this laptop for about a month now and having nothing but good things to say....besides windows 8 of course.

The system is a standalone unit with no built-in fan. You can purchase the fan option separately. I have installed both and the unit works great!

Not sure if it only has one fan. It has a button I push when I want the fan to blow faster when gaming. The air coming out is pretty warm when gaming but I don't know the exact temp. To me it doesn't matter. I really like this laptop and it performs awesome.

I've had both, and the one with the fan was quite a bit flimsier. This may vary from production run to production run, however. I keep close track of my computer temps (having once had the misfortune to own an HP laptop which melted) and the passive cooling seems to work as well as the fan.

Neither, no air is drawn from or pushed outside of the case, this guy just pulls air thought the fans forcing air on a GPU or similar or card. It does work but it is not the most quiet.

Actually it does have a fan but only a cpu fan - very small and very quiet. Think laptop and you have the idea of how this system works.

It has a small fan on the back of the base of the laptop. I leave it streaming videos on a carpet floor for hours and it never heats up because it has solid state hard drive.
