    Tranquil PC

    "The Tranquil's exquisite design and looks, near-silent operation, and multitude of uses makes us think that it'll appeal to its intended market. Highly recommended if true quietness is high on your list of priorities. Power users need to look elsewhere, though. An excellent example of how to engineer and deliver a product that's aimed at a niche, exclusive market."

    I am going to replace my Shuttle with it - I don't need the power of my shuttle.

    Agreed.

    I prefer the name "Hush" over "tranquil" too.

    edit: Ooo I *like* that blue LED front bit. Very nice.

    would be nice if you still ran the divx/sandra tests, nice idea with the cpu heatsink

    also, was "smooth playback" enabled in the 5.05 settings?

    cheers
