if noise is not a problem, no problem. if it is, check the silent boxes from thomas-krenn.com (not silent at all, but only obnoxious, not earth-shattering). they are stand-alone towers, but rack-mount kits are available. if heat is a problem (and i think it always is), pay special attention to which cpu core you are getting - generally, the smaller the process, the better, but they don't always tell you. don't use the fastest one you can get (bad price/performace and also probably on the edge of its thermal design power). best, jörn _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-dev mailing list Linux-audio-dev@lists.linuxaudio.org http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-dev
