I sold my laptop and bought my self this rig:

A64 2800+
Thermaltake Venus7+ Heatsink
Gigabyte GA-K8VT800M mAtx
2x512 Geil PC3200
200 Gig WD SE
AverTV PVR 150
Coolermaster ATC-620C-BX1 Case
Enermax PS

9700 Pro will come from my SK41g

All for $686.00 not too shabby huh, what do you all think?

Ok good. That software is just plain awesome. When I save up enough money to build an HTPC, I'm gonna use that.

I just built a HTPC too. Since I'm just mostly doing PVR with the WinTV 250 card, it's a basic computer (no gaming). The TV card and software alone was $160, but the total came in around $600.

You know what sucks, when everything else but the case arrives today!!!!!!!!!! At least the case will be here tomorrow

Finally got everything! Damn, what an upgrade! Fast, very fast! All I have to do is set up the tv card. I am now a believer in newegg refurbs too! The processor, memory, and motherboard came with no problems. Saved me a ton.
