Thanks.   A couple more questions:

1.  What case did you buy?  Does it include the power supply?  How did
you determine your case options and narrow those options to this one?

2.  I’ve never considered the possibility of a CPU and no hard drive. 
This may be a dumb question, but would it be possible without hacking
my linkstation to install linux, slimserver, and browser on a partition
of my linkstation and have the Via Epia system treat that partition as
if it were its own?  I know some run slimserver directly off their
linkstations through hacks, but I don’t feel up to that. (All my music
is on the linkstation.)

Have you tried using your wife’s pocket PC to control slimserver?  If
so, is it necessary to use the Nokia skin?  Is the screen big enough?
