[linux-audio-user] shuttle xpcs as linux music boxes?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



hi,
As a fellow muller, I've looked into the Shuttle xpc Zen.  It has an 
external powersupply, a la the apple cube, and is extremely quiet 
according to the people of www.silentpcreview.com.  Right now it only 
comes in a pentium 4 flavor, but they may release an AMD version.  It's 
biggest flaw is the lack of an AGP slot (it has builtin nvidia, and 2 
pci slots, I believe).  That wouldn't be any problem if you don't run 
any really graphics intensive games.
