Owners of fanless PC's may disagree with question 14.

Right - there are a lot of different fan and fanless configurations that work just fine - they just need appropriate design.

Well, given a low-enough air-impedance path, and a fan with enough static pressure, a single fan could be enough. Indeed, this is how many of the older 386's operated using just the power supply fan.

But indeed, passively-cooled PCs definitely have no fans.

Yep, seen many computers with a single fan (or none), and the way the question is worded makes it sounds like it's an absolute.

Yes - this is a tricky question... For example: how to treat CPU fan? Does it counts or is this question only about case fans?

Agreed, more fans are not always better, with poor air channel design more fans could even be worse.
