I'm running a Celeron 433MHz with 512MB of memory and a 500GB drive. I store my files in FLAC format and it runs just fine. I decided on Xubuntu as it has the Xfce window manager that needs less horsepower than the full Gnome or KDE interfaces of Ubuntu or Kubuntu. I rarely ever connect the keyboard, mouse, and monitor. Once I had to reconnect everything after a power failure to get it back up again. Also, I have to reconnect if I need to do any maintenance, although that could be done from a remote SSH log-in I suppose. I have a large and very quiet fan on the CPU and the rest of it is passively cooled. I have the box tucked away under my desk and hardly even notice that it is there. I also keep all my music backed up on another system with a RAID 5 disk setup.
