So I think I am going to go ahead and build a new PC for my gaming and growing photography needs. After my flop with the Asus eeeBox 1012 (atom 330) I am wanting to see if I can do anything with my current PC and maybe make something smaller.

Current Setup:
Gigabyte 965P-DS3
Core 2 Duo E6400 2.13GHz
2GB Crucial Ballistix DDR2 800
XFX GX260NADBF GeForce GTX 260 Black Edition Core 216 896MB 448-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI
Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 ST3320620AS 320GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb
Antex 500w 80 Plus

Probably would install Windows 7 Professional 64 bit or I could go the Linux route.

The whole purpose would be strickly for streaming my slingbox and pandora to a stereo receiver and then out to a TV.

So is their any option using this stuff to make a smaller footprint PC? If so, suggestions on hardware needed and/or reuse of what I got?

THANKS A BUNCH!
