More precisely, you should be able to get away with a fanless power 
supply -- I'd suggest buying one designed for that (mini-ITX cases tend
to come with them) rather than just removing the fan from a garden-variety
PC supply, especially since garden-variety PC supplies often won't run
properly at very low loads.
