Nothing beyond your normal heat dissipation design. A fan is not always required so I'll skip all the stuff you can read on google.com about heatsinks and share a condensed version.
Passive heatsinks can dissipate so many Watts per square inch of surface area. The Mac Mini doesn't use the highest speed CPUs so that plus choosing the right size heatsink is all that was required.
No magic here.

Hey all
I'm doing a Product Study of the Mac Mini for my A Levels (like the UK equivalent of SAT's) and would love it if anyone could give a bit of help. It's all about the design issues that arise from the lack of a fan. If anyone knows any gd links or could give me some info, it would be awsome!!
This is a long shot, but if anyone has a Mac Mini they are willing to part with, i'd be happy to pay for delivery costs. The thing doesnt even have to function properly, just be more or less intact.
Cheers all!!
