You might wants to consider using a low-power 'brick'-type AC->DC PSU (~90W?) and a DC-DC voltage converter that plugs directly into a mainboard's power connector. This will be quite noiseless. Really, I'm rather impressed with FreeBSD yet again. Such an exotic hardware, and all works right away. Huge kudos to the developers :) [SorAlx] ridin' VN1500-B2 _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hardware To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
