[Nottingham] A quiet compact PC?

I've had good luck with Aleutia kit: http://www.aleutia.com/ -- used a couple of the older T1s for various things and they were lovely.

Subject: [Nottingham] A quiet compact PC?

Folks,

Any recommendations/experience of any x86_64 hardware based 'quiet' PCs
that are in a small box suitable for bolting onto the back of a monitor
or that can be used as a monitor plinth?

This is to install Linux ofcourse. And it is to be something a little
more powerful/responsive than such as a RasPi.

My first thoughts are something along the lines of the AMD "APU" CPUs.
Could look at the latest Intel dual-core Atoms.

ARM SoCs are still a little too fringe for non-computer-literate use ;-)

And all to be in a nice small box...


And the various all-in-one style PCs all look to be rather clunky and in
any case are unnecessarily knobbled by a restrictive OS pre-installed...


Any suggestions/experience/ideas?


Cheers,
Martin
