Can't really comment yet, - only had it running on the bench with the lid
off. I've just finished installing the required hardware, so hopefully I'll
get the lid back on tomorrow...

Hmm.. obviously one of those "the manufacturer reserves the right to
change
the specification without notice" moments... - there are NO internal
speakers in the one I've got..

Yes, I did. - Did I say CDROM? - sorry, I *meant* DVDROM...

Also, I can now add the following:

There is NO IR hardware behind that tantalising IR window on the front, and
although the BIOS options exist for it, they are all disabled by default.
Presumably the same chassis is used for another model? - It would not be
especially difficult (In my very un-expert opinion) to mound an IR LED
behind that window with a little hot-glue, and retro-fit IR functionality
to
it...

The onboard network adapter is PXE compliant...
