How to split this computer into two?

It's time to split this thing up - I'm out of expansion bays and the addition of the final piece of hardware yesterday has started to cause conflicts (None of my expansion cards like sitting directly next to each other - for some it's EMI, others cooling, and for others its resources)

So here's what I have loaded in this machine:

Enermax 350w
Lite-On 32x CDRW
Pioneer DVR-105 DVD-RW
160gb HDD
80gb HDD (Boot)
GF4 Ti4200
56k modem
Leadtek TV2000XP Deluxe
A7n8x Deluxe (All features except SATA in use)
Athlon XP 1900+

My modem and the TV card ABSOLUTELY hate each other - those two have to go in seperate machines. The DVDR and 160 gig HD should go in the machine with the TV card. If I leave the GF4 in the machine with the modem, I think I'm pretty well covered.

I figure I'll put a P3 1.0 in there. What do you guys think?
 
Just strip one down to what you need most. Put what you don't need in the other computer. Do you need the 56k modem? If not, just get rid of it.

Do you really need both hard drives? If not keep the 160 in there and sell the 80 on ebay. The rest should be fine, maybe its time for a format?
 
I actually use everything every day 😛

The 80 gig is FULL - OS, apps, daily use data. The 160 is an editing scratch disk which regularly fills up.

Unfortunately, the 56k is neccessary because Comcast doesn't like me.
