Cube
(You can suggest changes to this post.)
The new machine has been dubbed cube, due to its shape, although it's more shoebox than cube proportioned. Sound under Windows was a right pain to get working, and involved an upgrade from Win98SE to Win2K in order to get a peep out of the darn thing. Sound under Linux worked a treat, first time. Those people who are curious, it's an FV24 VIA motherboard with on-board sound.
The machine is currently sitting in the lounge-room, and has a TV connection, but no connection to the sound system yet. Considering the purchase of a Creative Extigy and a bunch of high quality surround speakers, but I'm sure that would be excessive at this stage.
Again, many many thanks to Ian for providing his wealth of knowledge regarding hardware and drivers.
