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
