I had disabled everything which had something to do with floppy. I now
installed the most current bios and it works now. Only the boot time is
a bit longer.

The power supply fan is noisy. I will have alook whether it can be
exchanged against a les noisy one. The cpu fan can probably be throttled
because the temp with a 850 MHz Celeron is only 35 C. The system fan I
also have a problem with IR receiver sensitivity. I probably install an
external one from www.zapway.de . Or does someone know a better
alternative?

The box is really nice and compact. The floppy has to be removed to
place HD there. I got the system running from scratch within a few hours
with the current software.
