Glad that it has worked out so well - all a bit beyond my technical capabilities!!

Thank you David! It's probably easy for me to say but building such a machine actually isn't hard at all. And if someone isn't up to it himself we can nowadays often easily find someone close to us who is. Also these kind of machines are built to order/come ready built by suppliers like 'Item Audio' in the UK or 'Small Green Computer' in the US. (these are international examples I know of but there are probably more. I also know of some suppliers in The Netherlands).

I don't see a fan in the computer, is it correct?
Are you running a two PC setup?
Kind regards
Morten
Thanks Morten!
Correct, it's a fanless, fully passively cooled PC based on the Streacom FC5 EVO WS case (http://www.streacom.com/products/fc5ws-e...s-chassis/) (rest of the specs in first page of this topic). Fans are actually a source of noise, not only the noise of moving air but electrically as well because the fan controllers usually employ PWM switching to regulate the fan speed. It's often removed out of Mac Mini's for example as well.
Currently I'm running a single PC setup. I'm not sure if I'll ever change to a dual PC setup, I can't really hide any more boxes now in my current setup. Perhaps someday when I can employ a very energy efficient PC that can be powered by a battery or small linear PSU or when the 'next best thing' comes around forcing me replace this current solution!
