See my sig, Shuttle offers both pre-built and semi-build computers. Only takes 27W, and I configured am X27D for a friend that runs Vista Home on it, and it runs well. Make sure to get 2G RAM for Vista. The other option is to upgrade whatever components in your old PC may be obsolete. -- pablolie ...pablo Server: Shuttle X27 - Ubuntu 9.04 - SBS 7.4 Sources: SB3 (3), SB Boom (3), Duet, Accuphase DP65v CD Amplifier: Accuphase E306v - Creek OBH21/22 Loudspeakers: Ceeroy 3-way tower (tuned) - Audioengine 5/S8 - Acoustic Energy Aego M Headphones: Grado SR-1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pablolie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3816 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=69109 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
