Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone could recommend a model of PC that is 
particularly *quiet*. I need to operate it on my living/listening 
room, and really want to keep the noise level to a minimum. The 
machine will be dedicated to running CDJ, Timbuktu (remote control 
software), and occasionally IE.

Here's a kind of a target configuration:

Absolute minimum:

	Cost < $1,000
	Quiet!
	Small (desktop or tiny tower)
	500MHz or faster
	96MB RAM minimum
	3GB Hard drive minimum
	CD-ROM drive
	Video card to support 1024x768 or larger in True Color
	10/100Base-T Ethernet

Highly desirable:

	Cost  closer to $500
	Windows 2000
	Video out (or PCI slot to add) for TV connection
	Digital Audio input/output (or 2nd PCI slot)
	Serial (or USB-only for $100 less)
	FireWire (IEEE 1394) port

Any suggestions?

Jeff
