HTPC update.
For the last 5 years or so I've been running the same computer. I've only upgraded the PSU, Ram, and the occasional cooling fan (also a graphics card cooler for when my OEM unit bit the dust). I've never reformatted the computer, and with 80 gigs of HDD space, I have really been living the first world dark ages.
Old rig consists of..
-Antec 1080 Performance Plus w/window.
-Asus A7N8X E-Deluxe Mobo.
-1 gig (2x512) OCZ Platinum ram (2-2-2-5).
-Sapphire Radeon 9800 Pro 128mb, 256 bit Gcard Overclocked with artic cooling VGA silencer.
-AMD XP2500B+M CPU Overclocked to 2.2GHz with a Thermaltake Volcano 12.
- 80 gig Maxtor Sata HDD.
-OCZ Modstream 520 Modular PSU.
-LG DVD drive and LG CD burner.
-Zalmon fan controller.
-5 80mm Coolermaster blue LED fans.

New rig is much faster, and much cheaper (Paid $1300 for that rig back in the day versus the $950 for this one.)
-Silverstone Lascala LC13B HTPC case.
-Gigabyte EP45-UD3L Ultra Durable 3 Mobo.
-Sapphire Radeon HD4870 512mb GDDR5 Gcard.
-Intel E7400 Core 2 Duo CPU.
-4 gigs (2x2G) of G-Skill PC2-6400 4-4-4-12 Ram.
-1 Terabyte WD HDDSATA2 7200RPM 4.2ms.
-Same PSU as my old rig (Will either buy a replacement for the old computer, or buy a better on this this later on).
-Same DVD drive and Fan Controller from old rig (Until I buy a DVD burner [forgot]).

Rig will be built and operational on Wednesday. Right now I need to start backing up my music and photos.
