Cool! Thanks Andreas. I am thinking of using one for the same thing.

The NICs, = HDD, USB, CLI work fine. Audio and X-Windows should work too. (I have only = tested this on an EPIA M-10000, but there it worked without any problems. The onboard graphic chip is fast enough for most 2D application, but it was = to slow for me to playback xvid/divx, but an additional PCI graphic card = should solve this problem.) When transfering data via ftp I get about 10MB/s up/down. Make buildworld takes about two hours. All in all, it is a nice system and fits my needs. I like it.
