Studio Hybrid would be an excellent choice. It is a little more expensive than the Asus EEE Box I first recommended. But the Studio has faster components and a built in DVD. I have always liked Dell products for their value. And the Studio has good looks, too! They are also available for a couple hu...

Asus EEE Box
For a very compact and QUIET PC, you can hardly beat the Asus EEE Box 202: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6883220006
Mount it to the rear of a 19in LCD and you have a total system for about $400.

Thanks Jaime. I like Scythe fans. 100x12mm will be a tight fit. The 60mm fits in the heatsink borders. 100 would certainly extend about 1.5in. And the extra 2mm in depth should still clear the case top and heatsink. I used a Fanmate on the stock Zotac fan but needed to run it full speed to keep the ...

Morex 350 and Zotac ION
I tried a Zotac 9300 mini-ITX board in a much larger case Apex M100 case with Q6600 95w quad processor and the stock Intel cooler. I could not keep it cool AND quiet. Ran around 40C with a fair amount of noise. Not objectionable but not good for a quiet htpc. I doubt if you could ever get even a 65w...

However, I had to install the included Zotac 60mm fan on the NB/CPU heatsink. That brought temps down ...

Why not just silence the fan completely and FREE with the AA1 Fan Control program. It allowed me to shut the fan off completely. The temp runs about 50-60C without the fan. With the fan running at its normal slow speed, temps were in the 45C range. Doing alot of processing, I notice at 60C the fan s...

I bought an Asus EEE 4G 7inch model in Jan 08 for $400. I liked it...it was my first netbook experience. I loaded Windows and played with it.
