epia-m 6000 (passive cooled cpu) together w/ a ff card works perfectly. Didn't 
try any of the soft plugins like but i think the 600 Mhz C3 is not fast 
enough and unfortunately there is no working solution that utilises the 
onbard hardware mpeg2 decoder. or am I wrong??

If you want to stay absolutely silent then use a ff card and a low power C3 
cpu like the epia-m 6000, and a fanless PSU and nfs-root. -> no noise at all.
I found a nice fujitsu-siemens case with a fanless PSU at ebay...
