I wouldn't. I don't know about whatever extra noise damping they do. I can tell you that my Asus P3-PH5X is pretty darn quiet, and it was all stock parts bought from Newegg. The memory they're offering is on the slow side. The cpu and hd are low on cache memory. I think you can do better. Because I've been shopping, some examples from Newegg this week: A Core 2 Duo at 3.0 Ghz with 12 Mb L2 cache: $169 DDR3 1600 RAM around $130 for 2Gb, about half that for DDR2. A 1Tb Hitachi sata drive with 32Mb cache for $79 after all the rebates. Asus P3-PH5 for $179. I would maximze ram and cache to optimize performance. The more you run from ram instead of drive based swap, the better. hth Janina Kevin Cosgrove writes: > > ... system for audio work? > > http://www.cooltechpc.com/c/ctpc/std/sku=extreme_quiet_core2.html > > The motherboard is this: > > http://usa.asus.com/products.aspx?l1=3&l2=11&l3=709&l4=0&model=2164&modelmenu=2 > > Thanks.... > > -- > Kevin > > > _______________________________________________ > Linux-audio-user mailing list > Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user -- Janina Sajka, Phone: +1.202.595.7777; sip:janina@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Partner, Capital Accessibility LLC http://CapitalAccessibility.Com Marketing the Owasys 22C talking screenless cell phone in the U.S. and Canada Learn more at http://ScreenlessPhone.Com Chair, Open Accessibility janina@xxxxxxxx Linux Foundation http://a11y.org _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
