Was leaning toward building an Antec Aria based system, but cannot find a suitable microATX motherboard (none have integrated Firewire, etc.). Noticed the new Soltek SFF with Athlon 64 and Nvidia nForce 3-250Gb chipset. They claim to be the quietest SFF (presumably in the A64 class); please test the claim. Another advantage is the Soltek is narrower (takes up less desktop space). Suspect the Aria may be ultimately quieter (all other aspects being equal). Cannot find place to buy the Soltek yet (it was announced in mid April 04 on Soltek web site) but assumed you could get a review sample. Thanks for your consideration.
