Maybe you can, yes.

Not sure how many hours it would take you researching the components, ordering them all from dabs.com, making sure you are home for them to be delivered, building it, testing it.... so you need to factor all that into the price. How much is your time worth per hour?

I built a PC based on a review of components found at: http://silentpcreview.com/ It turned out to be quite quiet indeed. But to your point, it did take a lot of time - although I did save a fair bit of cash.

I use the Fit-PC2,

Aren't there several versions of Fit-PC2 over the years? I once had something based on an AMD Geode single-core, guess named LX-something. But it just had around 500-800MHz cpu-freq. It was one of my first passively cooled PCs (but was getting really hot). Is that really enough on that platform to play without noticeable latency??  Or which specs does it have?

I have tried with a Windows installation on the Fit-PC, but Windows eats all CPU power, so Linux is the only choice as I see it.

That should work perfectly in my opinion. I use a very similar PC as private (linux-)workstation:

Very interesting.

Which audio card?

The celeron 1037u has a benchpass mark of 1780 which is regarded as OK by many, although a forum member has stated that for maximum latency/function etc, a minimum of 2000 pasmark is desirable

Just for interest I installed the PTQ trial version on my 1037u-workstation and I get a Performance index of 33 out-of-the-box (which means: no realtime optimizations, no cpu-frequency tweaks, pianoteq with D4 daily practice, 48000 Hz 64 samples, Blues Demo).

With my Bay-trail Netbook, that I use for playing PTQ, I have a performance index of 22 and even with that absolutely no latency issues (1,3 ms nominal).

I know, that Performance indices are more a rule-of-thumb, but is a Celeron 1037u not also better than mobile Bay Trail in other benchmarks?

cheers

I confess to ignorance on this, but I have a Lenovo m93p tiny with a pentium g3220t and seems no problems.
I havent tried my laptop with a T9300 cpu, but it will probably be OK

What about Tablet PC Motion J3500 CPU Intel Core I5 U520 1,06Ghz?

http://www.exnovocomputer.it/pc/tablet-...ebcam.html

It has a fan and a harddisk, I would not call it "Noiseless".  1 GHz is not enough with older CPUs in my opinion.

cheers

Scan 3XS build a silent system in the UK http://www.scan.co.uk/3xs/configurator/...o-computer

I think that you can build a bespoke system for 30% of their price
