It appears to be microATX-based and ideally only takes CPUs with a
thermal rating of <70W along with a passively cooled video card to
avoid overheating and to run without any fans. Should be available in
the last week of August. With a network boot, I guess it would offer a
totally silent frontend option.

The A64-3500+ QuietPC system reviewed is GBP999 - so I'd guess the
case might be in the GBP 400-500 range. The TNN500 case is about
GBP800 on QuietPCs website.
