I'm wanting to build a new server on which I'd like put FreeBSD. The main 
criteria hardware-wise is that it must be small and quiet as it must be on 
24/7 in the room next to our bedroom.
I'm thinking that a Shuttle Zen ST62K XPC will do just fine. Does FreeBSD 
work OK on these machines ? I'll be running X but don't need accelerated 
3D graphics. As long as I can get 1280x1024 24bit  I'll be happy. The 
integrated NIC working correctly is important but I'm not bothered by 
on-board sound, TV-out and the like. 

Haven't managed to find any reviews on this machine with FreeBSD on the 
net yet to I thought I'd ask here. 
Any info you have would be much appreciated. 

Cheers, 

Sean
