Yeah I wouldn't use a fanless cpu, not nearly enough CPU power. Heck when I play live sessions I just bring my entire custom built linux PC which I then control through FreeNX on my laptop. I use it exclusively as synth/rythm machine/midi sequencer. I don't see the point for a hardware synth. Seems like a waste of money to me. I'd rather spend some money on some cool midi controller pads or something.
