hi, I just bought one of these little boxes (Shuttle Spacewalker XPC SN41G2 nForce2 Aluminium Barebones System - AMD Athlon XP to use for an installation and have installed redhat9 on it and soon will be planetccrmaing it - it is a very quiet machine as it comes and i believe you can get an optional super quiet power supply for it - very easy to build/configure - i'll let you know if i run into any audio worries. Does anybody know if i can access more than 2 the 5.1 outputs on the onboard audio chip with PD or should i go ahead and get an SBLive for 4 outs? nVida Corporation nForce Multimedia audio controller [VIA VT82C686B] (rev a2) nVida Corporation nforce AC97 audio controller (MCP) (rev 1a) rob -- robcanning <rscanning@xxxxxxxxxx> www.robcanning.utvinternet.com
