I got a real kick out of this one, but it's obviously aimed at "performance" rather than "silence": http://members.verizon.net/~vze24qhw/mini_c~2.jpg http://members.verizon.net/~vze24qhw/howto.html Mr. Gardner says "it caused quite a stir" at the very site (mini-itx.com) you mention when he posted linkage there. Probably it's as quiet as my 2U rackmount Athlon (that I'm currently using as a desktop). :-D Kevin Kinsey
