hey i used a mac mini ... with a 1,83 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo.
the good thing about this computer is the size and that the computer is
silent (i mean the fan).
is there pc on the market with a similar size and which is similar silent?
maybe already linux tested?
thanks

Maybe take a look at the various Nettops that seem to be popping up lately:

The nettops are not comparable to the mac mini since they are (mostly)

can be considered
as an alternative (but comes without an optical drive).
The MSI Wind Nettop for example (i've just installed one last week) is
as twice as big as the mac mini but very affordable and includes a
dvd-burner and big harddrive.
If you're planing to use it for every-day audio work, you may want to
consider a more performant solution, like the transtec senyo 610
(http://www.transtec.de/D/D/products/personal_computer/pc/mini_pc.html).
This device an be delivered with Suse Enterprise pre-installed, so it
can be considered as "linux tested" :)
Btw, have you tried running a mac port of linux on your mac mini? I'm
running debian here on an old imac and it is very performant (compared
to OSX).

yes i where looking before for this company because i thought i would
need a fanless computer ... but now i think i just need a normal quiet
computer ...
the only thing is that the competitors to apple seam to be more expensive.
but thanks for the suggestions

on the intel macs i just run a normal linux.
but i did not test it so much so i dont know anything if everything is
perfect.
p.s.:
i have an old ibook where it is impossible to use a firewire soundcard
do you think it would be possible to use it with linux and ffado did
anybody try to compile ffado on a ppc?
12:36 p.m.
oh i think the transtec has a ok price ... but does anybody know
something about the fan - noise of these?
thanks

Why not use a Mac Mini? Runs Linux just fine (I used one for about 6 months running
Debian).
I bought a Mini-ITX motherboard with the same specs as a Mac Mini for cheap. Still trying
to get it to boot properly off of USB though (it refuses sometimes) which was my plan to
get it to run off of Flash device. If you want to build your own PC from parts you could
probably find a mini-ITX case and mobo and run whatever linux you like off of it.
