Hi,

I'm collecting hardware at the moment to build my first JB.
My old Kenwood receiver with 4 channels of Max 120 watt will be used as amplifier.
As speakers i want to use 2 sets of Bose Acoustimass 5.2 and a 17 inch LCD / 4 Wire touch panel - usb.

As PC hardware i would like to buy a small fan less pc, called fit PC.
