Subject: Small & Quiet PC recommendations
Hi All,

I currently have a linux box that I use to serve MP3s, Videos, etc. as
well as storing backups of emails and documents.
Basically it's serving as a file storage box. However, I need to
replace this box as it's starting to fail (old hardware).

What I want to replace it with is a small footprint, ultra quiet PC of
some kind. Since this box just stores files it doesn't need much in the
way of CPU horsepower. But the main thing I want is for it to be quiet.
I'm tired of listening to fan noise and hard drive hum in my office
(relocating it somewhere else in the house isn't viable).

My thoughts are that it wouldn't even need a large hard drive installed,
since I currently use an external USB 1.5Tb drive (which is completely
silent) to store all of said files.

Does anyone have recommendations for such an animal?
Quiet is the main engineering requirement here, horsepower secondary.
Cheap is good too!

Thanks for all your help!
Peter
