All the parts on the way, I'll soon have a decent HTPC

To those that have them already, any advice? These are the specs:

3.0GHz P4
Dual-Channel 1GB DDR-400
Radeon 9600XT 256MB Dual DVI
Dual 40GB SATA 10K RPM Raptor HD in RAID 0
SB Live Audigy 4 Pro
16X DVD-RW+/-
Logitech diNovo Cordless Desktop

Here's the case I chose:

Nice.

I have a similar setup. What are you using for software? Are you using something specifically designed for HTPC, or just Windows and firing up Media Player to play your stuff? This is what I've been doing but would really like some kind of neat package. I wish they sold XP Media Center without having to buy the hardware....

I wish they sold XP Media Center without having to buy the hardware....
I bought Windows XP Media Center 2005 off of newegg.com. Only $129, right here (http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=32-102-311&depa=0) or buy a 3-pack right here (http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=32-102-312&depa=0). No hardware purchase required, my friend. Unfortunately, it doesn't come with the remote (I don't think so, at least), but the Audigy 4 does, so I'm sure I can use that. Perhaps I can even get my Yamaha remote to work?
