Actually Marc, that's no longer correct.  If you check Carillon's website,
their "barebones" pc's are gone and replaced by "core systems" which are
upgraded.  I agree they are still a bit pricey, but they are reportedly
quieter than virtually anything else, which is what this thread was about.
Is the Northwood system an audio-specific application as well?  I am not
familiar with it.

This was NOT a paid advertisement for Carillon computers, i don't own
one.... : )

cheers,
jim.

     While the Carillon systems look nice, they have really fallen behind 
everyone else in the level of system offered. Their Barebones1 is still a
1.5 
GHz P4, with SDRAM (no monitor). For the same price, you can get a 2 GHz 
Northwood system, with RDRAM, a flat panel, 6 USB ports, etc.. I'd suggest 
waiting on the Carillon until they catch up with the rest of the world.
Maybe 
after NAMM they will improve their systems. Anyone interested in a rack 
mounted computer might find the info at Tomshardware.com. very helpful.
