That looks pretty good, but I would still question the on-board
grpahics for full dvd play back. I reckon the best approach is
something with a fanless cpu which also has an AGP slot. There are
certainly fanless AGP cards that can do the playback. The other
option (I think the one Phil is following) is to use something like
the Hollywood card in the PCI slot, but that is not an option for me
as I want to use a VGA connection to the plasma screen.
I know that there are many of us really pushing the various
technologies to the limit, but I still don't think the 'perfect'
solution exists. My ideal system would be silent, look nice and
provide perfect dvd playback (from network share) via VGA to the
plasma. At present the closest I have got to this is something with
tolerable noise and the other criteria satisfied.
