I am looking for a system that is silent (something I cannot hear from 80cm away, preferably fanless), and which meets the following three requirements:

- It must have at least one usb 3.0 port (better two)
- It must support 6Gb SATA (I plan to use appropriate SSD)
- It should have either APU or a graphics card that can drive two monitors

Note that I do not need high-powered processor, or a graphics card --- it is purely work machine, running slimmed down linux. I currently have Shuttle XS35GT V2 at a different location, and it is almost an ideal system. It is fanless, and has a basic GPU. It'd be nice to have the same with usb 3.0 and 6Gb SATA. A slightly faster processor would be nice, but not essential.

The closest match that I found is

Additional information:
- I have no need of wireless
- I am located in US, and so do not access to European suppliers

Any suggestions?

I would like to spend up to about $500 on the system itself (not including memory, SSD, and peripherals, which I have).
