    You wouldn't need to get a Hush PC from London - they have a distributor
    in the US (www.logicsupply.com). I would be very surprised if the US
    distributor sold 240V plugs. The Cappuccino PC's look a little cheaper
    but they're, um, cheaper. Nice thing about the Hush is that it would
    blend right in with your stereo equipment.

    Mini-itx.com has a bunch of ideas for diy or pre-built silent and
    near-silent PC's as well. Might even get you back interested in a
    special geeky diy project!

    A bunch of folks on mini-itx.com run linux on their VIA PC's (the main
    processor for the mini-itx board, though you can get P4s and Celerons
    too), but I haven't yet heard of a FreeBSD install. Maybe you could
    give some advice to the rest of us if you go that route - I've been
    quite curious to know if FreeBSD would run smoothly on those little PCs
    myself. Performance isn't really an issue for me, to be honest.
    Silence is far more important to me.

    John
