Is it possible to build a completely solid HTPC mini-itx?

However I want to build a server/HTPC combo but I am a silence freak, specially when it comes time to sleep, I can't get a good nights sleep with a constant humming in the background. Also I traveling so I will need to have it as small form factor as possible.
Would it be possible to build a system with these criteria:
1. Portable Mini ITX form factor
2. Completely passively cooled
So far my plans are to use
M350 Universal Mini-ITX Enclosure
External PSU silent power brick
A solid state drive
And my plans were to use the Zotac IONITX-C-U but the temperatures measured in the xbitlabs dor com/articles/mainboards/display/zotac-ion-itx-c_7.htmlxbitlabs review of the motherboard seems too high to feasibly use it passively cooled... Or is it?
