Well, looking to buy a small desktop PC that is both extremely quiet and powerful enough for most PC work including the odd game?

How about a Mac Mini?

Are they dead quiet? Can Win 7 be put on it?

What about TFT connections, what type do they have?

Hi,

The new Mac Mini is very quiet.

Windows 7 isn't officialy supported by boot camp yet but the Vista drivers work OK.

As for conection's it has mini display port and DVI.

as it has the nvidia 9400 integrated graphics, it'll run some games...how well depends on your games, the screen resolution, and quality settings.

The new Dell Zino HD is supposed to be very quiet.

Dell Zino HD or Mac Mini? Got to decide now.

My experience with the Mac Mini was disappointing. I have the previous generation of Core 2 Duo machines. When I got it, it was very quiet. I put an SSD in it and was very satisfied. Over time (about six months), it got louder and louder, until it was not quiet at all. I thought that the fan was going bad, so I replaced it and it didn't make a difference. I haven't had time to figure it out, but it's possible that the sensor is doing something different. It's loud now in both Windows and Leopard.
