You're missing the point. Some fanless PSU do have a proper fins, some 
don't have fins.

You can't build finless-fanless PSU into a closed case for as there 
would be no convection that would be then asking for trouble imho 
(heath-piped PSU are an exception of course).

Furthermore, the "funiculus" of all PSU I saw hitherto is mostly if not 
always barely long enough. So there isn't much of room to play with.

OTOH, if you can manage to install a finless-fanless not heath-piped PSU 
completely out of a closed case, that would be fine of course.
