Unfortunatly for you, the computer that I'm directly attached to me is
on the floor below (monitor, keyboard, and mouse cables run through the
floor) so I can only hear the beep if the room is quiet. It is noisy
right now. Perhaps you will have some luck.
That's an interesting hookup: I'd like that, but where do you get the
mon/mouse/kbd cables that long? I'd put the noise in the next room here :-)
10' extension cords. The box in on a shelf half-way up the wall
directly below my mini-desk in the living room. Makes for a totally
silent operation even though the hostname on the box is 'rocky' since
its fan sounds like a gravel truck. Its a P-II given away because if
was full (as in packed) of cat hair; messed up the CPU fan bearings
among other things.
