Need info on Dell slimline desktops

Hi.

I'm looking for a PC to hook to my stereo. I want something small,
very quiet, and not too fast - 1GHz should be more than enough. I
don't need fancy graphics, a big drive, or DVD. I just need a 6 - 10
GB drive, 10/100LAN, USB, and PS/2 mouse/keyboard ports. TV out and
1394 would be nice, but I can add these if there's a spare PCI slot.

I like the Dell Dimension 4600C, but it's too expensive and much
faster than I need. On eBay I saw some old Optiplex GX1 PIII-600, but
that's a bit too old/slow.

Could someone fill me in on other Dell slimline models over the last
few years that are at least PIII-1GHz and at most P4 1.8GHz? I'd
appreciate any other comments or suggestions.

Thanks,

David

first relevant question. what are you going to be using it for? if you're
just going to play mp3s with it, you'd do fine with a 300 Mhz Pentium

I've got a 1.7 GHz Celeron in a Optiplex GX60 that I bought for exactly
your usage. Very quiet, in fact it is completely silent. You can
see it he
