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 absolutely agree with Sufentanil. Once you have network, especially wireless, your music is sent as data without timing and the timing is recreated on the other side of the bridge. Nothing on computer side makes any difference (as long as it is providing all bits - "bit perfect").

Bmdduck statement about good backup scheme is very true. I have two backups for two reasons. First, I don't want to have my HD stolen or destroyed in fire but, second, I need third drive intact when copying drives 1-2 goes bad (controller or software goes crazy). Many people use RAIDS but it does not protect them from the controller/hardware failure. I strongly believe that unpowered disk tends not to fail!
