    Expensive because I want it as near as dammit silent. I live in a one bedroom flat ("apartment" to USians), and have no room to stash to kit out of the way.

    It will also serve all my online code samples and docs out via an SSL encrypted Apache server.

    The current firewall is a Celeron 533 box with lots of QuietPC.com silencing kit, but with the best will in the world bearings wear and it gets noisier with time.

    You need to compile a messages file using the mc.exe message compiler, then rc -r the output to a .rc file.

    You need to regster the event source and either link the .rc file into the executable or into a .dll (for language specific error messages etc).
