    Nice score indeed. I have the 2Ghz version of that Newertech upgrade. Morphos seems to work ok with it, although occasionally it seems to get stuck on boot. If you feel inclined, overclocking is very easy with these boards - I'm testing mine at 2.13Ghz (the fastest it will go without modifying the board) at the moment. Just for fun because what other point is there? ;)
    Also i've replaced the two noise generators on top of the heatsink with one quiet Noctua 92mm fan running at full speed. Much quieter and heat doesn't seem to be a problem.

    Power Supply was bad, had to convert an ATX power supply. I'm downloading 2.7 now, may not get a chance to play tonight. Oh well, after work tomorrow.

    Did you get the ATX power supply to fit into the Digital Audio's case? And did you use a 24 to 20 pin adapter to make the re-wiring easier or did you just move the connection pins?

    The ATX power supply fit into the Digital Audio's case perfectly, no problem. I did not have any 24 to 20 pin adapters handy, so I took a spare ATX power supply and cut off the 20 pin adapter and used the connector from the Digital audio power supply. The pinout is different, so I had to re-wire. The computer works like a champ!

    Hi Red

    Didn't know you were over here now also.

    Good find on that machine. The only thing I don't like about my mini is the lack of uprade possibilites, apart from crazy oc with removing resistors and faster bigger HDD and more ram.

    Have fun with the machine
