Be nice when they make a complete desktop PC that needs no cooling, but I am sure it will be a while on that.

Don't worry. Quantum computing, isolinear chips, and optical data interfaces are just around the corner.

I remember when there was an article about the first PCs to need fans.

I don`t hope they will simplify the relatively old but not bad i386/i686 architecture for these pcs.
arm devices are so slow, and there wont change a higher cpu much (they do require not so much cooling normally and do save energy)

Any PC can be passively cooled if you have a heatsink big enough or are willing to sacrifice performance for it.

That must have been the last millenia like 1999 or so?

Would be interesting to know which OS'es where actual that time. DOS 1.0/3.0 or even before???.
The first system i used was win 95, then win3.11 ( better), then dos6.22 ( ten ways better than w9k) and then ME ( Mist( Garbage/Trash) ) Edition) . After that failures i switched to linux and now i do use win7 ( tested w2k/xp a bit too) and linux.
Did Pcs with GEM GUI have fans ( im just curious)??

MS now just has to make an OS worthy of this. Cruddy 8/8.1 certainly aren't.
