I have the hush don't waste your money!

Dave,

First the Via boards are pretty cheap, slow and are not the quietest of units. What I mean is that even though you cannot hear it, it is the one of the most nasty in the way it delivers power thoughout the unit. The number of DCDC supplies are killers to the sound. ESPECIALLY if you use an internal card. Man it killed the Lynx l22 to the point I thought the thing was bad.

I have 8 computers here now and my suggestion would be a Mac Mini also put a 250-350gb fire wire pedastal drive underneath. The mac over all the pc's either linux, XP or even Vista always sound better. Also it takes such less hassle getting there and keeping it running.

Thanks
Gordon
