Really? I'm thinking 4 is just what I need. Web server + NAS RAID + every day computer. All I need is a media centre.

I was thinking I'd use my current PC as a media centre and buy me a quad core finally but this is so tempting.

Hmm... I also have a laptop. Maybe I could start combining functions.

The NSK1300 for $40AR is a good deal, too. The only deals we east coasters ever get are hard drives from Outpost.com.

I agree. I have an Antec Aria (pretty much the same) that is going strong for 3 years now. Cool little case.

Just picked this up in San Diego. Sweet deal, but the SPDIF output isn't standard (requires another cable). Any suggestions on where to get the add-on kit cheap?

It comes with a decent graphic engine for a quieter HTPC.
