Computer for Squeesbox Touch


Hello,
I’m using Logitech Squeesbox touch as my source and I would like to buy a dedicated computer that will be used only for music (connected to external HD that has all my music files). Any recommendations for a unit in a prices range of $250-$350? Are there good units in this price that are relatively quiet?
Thanks.

I've got a SB Touch system, hardwired, and wanted to get the playback software off my main PC. I use the LMS for the SB, of course, and JRiver for my computer set-up. I just got an Asus EEE Box and I love it. It's smaller than my router and mounts on a little stand.....totally silent. I've got a 1 TB external drive connected and minimum programs/services running on it. I swear it sounds better both on the SB Touch and computer audio systems. The particular one I got is a refreshed/refurbed for around $300 and it's the EB1503-B003G w/ Intel Atom D2550 1.86GHz 4GB MM 320GB HD (USB 3.0 too). Very cool little box.
