Hi Guys

It's about time I laid to rest my old XP AMD 64 3400 box and built a new system. I would like to build myself a dvd player-looking system to fit right at home with the rest of my AV kit however, with this in mind I would also like it to be totaly silent.

Now we all know hard disks are not too quiet to say the least so, I thought about maybe installing Vista to a memory card of some sort. I quickly found out that although they would have the capacity it appears the fastest I can find is x133 which is roughly 20mb/s sustained -no where near fast enough.

My question is this, if you wanted to build a noiseless system without hard disks (the storage is done over the network) that didn't need much storage i.e. just enough to install plain, no frills Vista, what would you do?

The box will need to be fast enough to play 1080p video by the way.



Thanks in advance!!!
