Ever since I moved our tower PC from the office to the living room to serve as the home media center, I've been struck by just how loud the spinning fans are in your typical desktop. And that's one of the reasons the Moneaul 301B looks so attractive to me right now. While most home theater PCs that come in a stylish case with a a quite cooling system will set you back thousands of dollars, the 301B starts at just $995. It sports:
- An AMD Athlon 64x2 Dual Core 4400+ processor
- Windows Vista Home Premium
- 2GB RAM
- 250GB hard drive
- Dual layer DVD/CD Burner
- HDMI out
- A wireless keyboard and remote
- Liquid cooling
- Your usual USB 2.0/Ethernet/Firewire/audio/VGA and other inputs and outputs

Thank you for mentioning the noise problem; more opinions and solutions are needed.
It should also be pointed that HTPCs are not the only culprits. In my experience, PVRs are too noisy to be placed in a bedroom.
