However, instead, I bought a Shuttle SB52G2 instead. It uses a standard(ish) Intel chipset and contains onboard Intel graphics card. I'm using it as a firewall/router/mail server/news cache/VPN server/file server etc. It has 2 NICs 1x1Gb and 1x100Mb. I installed FreeBSD 5.3 on it and so far it is working perfectly for the tasks I'm using it for. I haven't used it for sound, I don't use USB or Firewire, only the NICs and X. X works fine, the only trouble I had was setting it up for use with an LCD monitor. It is really quite quiet which is one of the reasons I went for a Shuttle in the first place. Anyway, it might be worth checking out. Sean. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Our enemies are innovative and resourceful - and so are we.
