Low power, very low heat, very low noise.There are lots of EPIA mobos (Mini-ITX for factor) with fanless CPUs around. With these, you get only one PCI slot, but everything is integrated on the motherboard.Using a good laptop-like power block (efficient and fanless), you can have a really silent setup (one slow fan for the whole system). > For processing power and cost I am looking at AMD AM2 4000 and Intel> Duel Core E2140 and Intel core2 Duo E4400.

Drop noise:* suspend the disk drive with rubber bands* carefully design the air path inside the case -- NH _______________________________________________vdr mailing listvdr@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
