That would be ideal if you wanted to use a case w/o

an LED display like the Zalman. I've been running with 4 bit color,the lowest screen resolution and the AGP Video in the tower disabled. This seems like it would spare the CPU from doing whatever video processing is required for the basic display I'm using now. Sounds reasonable to surmise usb "noise" would have to be less than using the CPU for display though of course still not "headless".

I already put a hole through a wall and stuck the PC in an adjoining room and just ran a VGA cable to a KVM swicth to share the CRT NEC monitor I use for my desktop PC. I just shut that off if I want to listen quietly in the main room so I'm not sure I'd benefit with this unless yanking the AGP card and disconnecting the VGA cable would gain in terms of further quieting of the MB. Thanks for the idea though I may grab one anyway. Do post up any impressions if you try it.
