But then I make sure I only get quality components, like Supermicro for the mainboard. There's a mostly silent cooler the size of Staten Island on the CPU, and the case is a very nice minimalist design (Fractal Design, quite inexpensive too).<br><br>- Peter<br>_______________________________________________<br>music-bar mailing list<br><a ymailto="mailto:music-bar@lists.music-bar.org"
