to find a laptop that was quiet enough. My soldermizing skills are not likely to work on diminutive hardware (in other words I am highly likely to make a mess of things. Still, i could stick a toothpick into the fan...?) The C.A.P.S. build was interesting but a bit out of my price range. One option I'd like to explore is using the PC similar to (I guess) a squeezebox -- where I would stream music either off the net and/or a local wi-fi server. The first requirement means a Win7 PC as some of the things I listen to are Pandora or other web-browser audio entities.
I'm getting drop-outs on my USB DAC so now I have the perfect excuse to upgrade!
