The holy grail I'm searching for now? A GigE switch with POE, unmanaged is ok, and probably preferred from a price perspective; but with NO FAN.
I can't help with the POE part. I have a 16-port D-Link DGS-1016D -- GigE, no fan, unmanaged.
My intuition, Leo, is that you won't *get* a PoE switch[1] without a fan; those things can be responsible for pushing *a lot* of power, fully loaded, and there's no real reason for them to be designed without one.
