Hi folks!
<BR>
<BR>Does anyone have any experience with buying a complete 'quiet' system from a retailer?
<BR>
<BR>I've looked at <!-- BBCode auto-link start --><a href="http://www.ambientct.com" target="_blank">www.ambientct.com</a><!-- BBCode auto-link end --> and <!-- BBCode auto-link start --><a href="http://www.sharkacorp.com" target="_blank">www.sharkacorp.com</a><!-- BBCode auto-link end --> with its Stealth line, but I'm unsure of the quality. (And they appear a bit pricey.)
<BR>
<BR>For background, I'm looking to buy a system to use as a multimedia pc attached to my stereo system, tv, and run a webcam. I'm not totally opposed to assembling it myself, but at the least I'd like a motherboard/case combo to start with.
<BR>
<BR>Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!

<br>>>P.S. You might also consider the Shuttle SS40G -- it needs some work to get it completely quiet, but it has that nifty small form factor, which makes it great for a multimedia PC (HTPC). It's basically the mobo/case/PSU combo that you're looking for.
<br>
<br>I was looking at the SS40G, and it looks promising. Does anyone know of a retailer who sells it yet? (Or plans to sell it soon.)
<br>
<br>Thanks!
