This could be the way to go.  To just use a box for audio, it doesn't
need too much in the way of CPU power does it?  I'm hoping to use an
old Hitachi box I have with a 300MHz CPU and 256MB of RAM.  Also, I'd
prefer to buy this sort of thing locally than to get it though the
mail.  Does anyone know of a shop in Akihabara (aka Akiba) that
handles this sort of thing?  I've definitely seen audio shops here and
there, but never bought anything at them... yet.
