Take a look at http://www.aopen.com/products/mb/Pax4b-533tube1.htm. The tube
is used in an onboard audio preamp.

I hope that is well sheilded. I bet that uses less power
and runs cooler than the CPU. :) Once you have tried tube
audio with high quality parts you never want to go back
to cheap audio stuff again.

I have a feeling that we are regressing into progression - having to use old
but terrific technology to be able to make things better again. I had to
actually search around to be sure it was even part of AOpen's site - and now
that I see it's true I have to wonder where the heater current is going to
come from (unless the big fat cap does that) and how much this is going to
cost (I think I'm lusting towards one, just to say I have a tube computer
that's brand new). I think the covers over the chips must be the shields but
you'd think that one tube shield around the tube would work better, unless
they wanted the tube cooled well.

It's actually a real motherboard. I think hardOCP did a write-up on it.

I think Slashdot did as well but I only heard about it from someone else,
never got a chance to look it up myself.
