My 2 year old Shuttle XPC seems to have gone wrong - had a very quick power
cut then kept restarting with errors. I guessed it was the HardDrive - put
=
a
new 300gig in installed XP and still having problems so guess it the MB
thats shot.

I need to replace it with a similar machine, which is near to quiet
(shuttl=
e
is not totally quiet) as its my HTPC running MainLobby in my Lounge.

Has anyone got suggestions where to find a suitable machine preferably
around the =A3500 mark. I dont think it has to have massive processing
powe=
r
as it mainly file serves, though it does play DVD's to the Plasma, and via
the SVideo output to the tv distribution system. I guess i cant rob any
parts from the old machine as i guess everything is out of date.

Any advise appreciated.
