Reason 1: no cleaning. A system with a fan requires cleaning. Frequency of cleaning depends on the environment. The desktop that this will replace is in a somewhat dusty environment. Reason 2: I have seen (slightly) more fans fail than hard disks. So this second reason suggests that a fanless system is slightly lower maintenance in the long term. Reason 3: yeah, noise. Really this is not a big deal, but quietness is nice.
