Well.... i have decided to convert my main PC into a HTPC (Home Theatre PC).
My new case will be coming next week
i current have Intel Quad Q9550 (OC to 3.4Ghz), Gigabyte Ga-ep45-ud3l, 4gb kingston hyperX @ 1066mhz, Corsair tx 650, Nvidia 8600GT
all that will be going into the HTPC. I am selling all my current entertainment System (sky+, 250gb DVD recorder, Media player , etc) and will be building it all into the HTPC.
Told the girlfriend it will make the ton of wires disappear, and make everything work from 1 box instead of about 4/5
I will be adding
2x Hauppauge NOVA HD DVB-s2 - For Satalite, Recording one channel watch another.
Blu-ray/HD-DVD drive.
so i cant wait to start it when my case comes
i know with my current spec it is overkill for what i will be using it for (but ya can never have to much power), but just after christmas i will make it a Gaming HTPC
by adding the
Nvidia 295GTX
Watercooling kit
