ANOTHER comp has been created... god what now

[nd4spdbh2]

Well today i wanted to build something... all RC cars were fixed, dirbike was in tip top shape... no more parts to put on the jeep... so why not build another comp....

Well i finally got a soundcard back from a friend today because he wasnt using it so thats what started this thing...

The story. I had bought a combo dealio from frys along time ago... a Athlon XP 2400, ecs mobo, 512mb of pc 2700 and some coolermaster cooler.... I used that comp for a server for the longest of times untill recently i bought the new comp thats in my sig.... so my old main rig ( a p4 3.0c w/ raid 0 80gb hds) became my new server and i love it.... SO today i got this sound card back and i realized that i had all the parts for ANOTHER htpc... yes another.... INCLUDING another ATI Remote wonder.... lol

Specs on my NEW htpc
Athlon XP 2400
512mb pc2700
Cheapie ECS mobo
ATI AIW 9800
Linksys Wireless card
Sound blaster live 5.1
60gb seagate hd (nice and silent)

all i ever paid for was the cpu, mobo, ram, and cooler A long time ago... mabey totaling $140... the case, psu, and everything else FREE from friends and uncle!

so my goal is to get this thing nice and quiet... and its going to be pretty sweet ima be able to play music on it... i will have 5.1 analog going to an older yamaha reciever with 5.1 in and out and then i will have good picture quality for some dvd playing.... god what shall i do with my OTHER pc that i have laying around.... a 2.0a P4 with RAMBUSS BABY!
