[PD] [OT] mini-ITX again (Derek Holzer)

[Derek Holzer]

Hi Ingo,

thanks for your feedback.

Two questions:

1) On the VIA, was it noise in the audio path of an external soundcard, 
or the built-in one? I am planning to use a Delta66 breakout box in my 
project, hopefully to get around this problem.

2) For the fanless Intel, what kind of extra cooling did you use?

best!
