Definitely going to have to build a seperate htpc box. If I don't throttle down the CPU fan, I can hear it outside.

If you're thinking about getting a Vantec Tornado, consider yourself warned, it's probably the best fan you can buy, but loud isn't even the word...

Production HTPC in living room:

MSI PT8 Neo - cheap and cheerful with S/PDIF output on back panel
Celeron-D 2.4GHz
Zalman CPU cooler and power supply
Zalman Fanmates to run CPU and case fans at slow speed
512MB Kingston Value RAM
Radeon 9200SE 128MB
2x200MB Seagate Barracuda SATA drives in RAID-0
Pioneer DVD-RW drive
Belkin 802.11g wireless LAN adapter (Broadcom)
DVICO FusionHDTV-Plus DVB-T card - not supported yet but has BDA drivers
Accent HTPC case - gold anodised front with built in IMON remote and VFD
MS wireless keyboard and mouse at the moment - like to do without altogether if possible
XP Pro/SP1

All driving:

Sony KV-HR32 HDTV - readable desktop at 1280x720p via RGBHV inputs
Marantz SR5200 receiver
Krix speakers - Lyrix Gold fronts, Centrix centre, Equinox rears, Seismix3-MkII sub

Development PC in study:

Intel D865GBF - what I'd use in the above if I did things over
P4 3.2GHz 800FSB (Prescott)
Zalman CPU cooler and power supply
1GB Kingston Value RAM
Radeon 9200SE 128MB
2x80MB Seagate Barracuda SATA drives in RAID-0
Pioneer DVD-RW drive
Netcomm 802.11g wireless LAN adapter (Prism)
DVICO FusionHDTV-lite DVB-T card
Shitty case hidden under desk - considering a remote and VFD for testing
IBM/Sony 21" Trinitron monitor
XP Pro/SP2 + Visual Studio.NET

Other PC's:
Asus Pundit-R used for email, accounting and boring admin type stuff. It runs a TI chipset 802.11g card. I deliberately mix things up to test compatibility.
PIII Celeron 700 running Smoothwall Express for firewall/router
XBox in the kids room with no connectivity as yet
Enough old motherboards of PIII vintage and bits to make a few more machines to test ideas.

Computer room machines are linked by a 100Mbps switch + access point that talks over 802.11g to an access point on the firewall box. I can switch over to wireless only if I want to test streaming video and stuff.

All this connected to the 'net by a.... 56K modem! :cry:

I've just moved house and didn't check if ADSL was available - duh. So, if you're feeling jealous about all the kit I have to play with you can make fun of me now. :lol:
