Just dropped the new HTPC in place as the old one (VIA M10000 mini-itx) is headed for the car.
This thing is overkill for what I'll be doing, but hey... most of the parts were here already...
Maxtop mATX case
Foxconn mATX P4 mobo
Intel Celeron D 2.66 GHz cpu
2x256MB Geil DDR-400
40GB Maxtor HDD (may drop a 2nd in there to continue my RAID addiction)
Seasonic Super Versatile mATX psu
ATi radeon 9600 AGP card with passive cooling
Modified Poseidon CPU Water cooler
Microsoft Wireless G PCI card, getting a nice strong signal from the basement
IR Wireless keyboard/mouse combo
Sweet... Played a little America's Army on it... streamed some internet trip-hop... browsed the forums on the tv... ahhhhh.
Now I just need a nice big flat screen tv for it!!

I wanted my Radeon back for regular use, and realized my HTOC didn't need DX9 and what not... So, I modded my GF4 MX440 for some serious, silent performance!
Had the oversized ramsinks already and just added the Zalman cooler from Xoxide's big clearance sale...
