Fanless version of Gigabyte GA-C1037UN

I was pretty interested in this one, but for some reason this variant still hasn't shown up in the US. amazon.co.uk has it, as does mini-itx.com, but ordering from the UK you're paying over the odds.

There are two other variants with fans and both of those can be found at US retailers like newegg. Unlike a lot of soldered-on CPU mainboards where there's a passive and and active version, there seems to be no difference in CPU specs:
Comparison matrix
Puzzling that nobody seems to be carrying it here. Assuming its street price is the same as the actively cooled versions, that's a pretty good price for a dual NIC, solid-cap, 4-SATA Celeron 1037U with dual-channel 1600 memory. Though in two of the three versions one of the SATA ports is eSATA only, and the one that has 4 SATA on board is single NIC.
