Dont laugh!

Compaq Deskpro (desktop) case
Intel Pentium III 600MHZ
320MB RAM
80GB 7200rpm HDD (E: Windows XP Pro)
10GB 7200rpm HDD (C: Windows '98)
Sony DVD-RW/+RW/RAM x16
Powercolour Ati Radeon 9250 128MB (VGA, DVI, S-Video)
Leadtek Winfast TV 2000XP RM + Coolcommand remote

All hooked up to a Netgem I-Player multimedia set top box for streaming music, movies, internet on the TV via Buffalo 16 port Ethernet hub.

Also on the network is a Compaq Armada M300 Notebook (similar spec as the dekpro) and 4 other not-worth-mentioning sub-500MHZ desktops around the house.

MP runs exceedingly well on this system to be honest, while i save for something more lofty! My dream is for piped files and internet to every room in the house.

Thermaltake Tenor HTPC Chassis (Black)
400w Vantec Ion PSU
Asus A7N8X Deluxe Revision 2.0
AMD Athlon XP 2500+ Barton @ 1.30v
512MB PC3200 Apacer DDR
200GB Western Digital SATA II drive
GeForce FX 5200
Dlink DWL-G510 Wireless G NIC
Hauppauge WIN-TV PVR 150 MCE
Microsoft MCE Remote Version 2.0

Nice little HTPC box that does everything I've set out to do: Music, movies, TV, radio, streaming media, Emulators, etc... Nothing beats being able to watch a movie and in a few clicks on the remote, I can swap over to playing Mortal Kombat through an emulator and some Modded Xbox controllers.

For HTPC - see signature

See signature for specs...

The Opteron is running at stock speed (2.4ghz) although at a lower Vcore (1.2 volts)... The undervolting helps my Zalman CNPS7000A-CU cool my passive 7600GS, which is quite nice.

The 120mm exhaust fan on my X-QPack is connected to a fan controller in front, thus making the system pretty silent.

Only two mods left to do: Cutting out the exhaust fan grill (honeycomb) out of the case and replacing with a standard 120mm fan grill ; replacing the 120mm fan with an Arcting Cooling 60 CFM / 32 DBA fan.

Cheers!

My sig says it all. I do have Media Portal running on Windows XP Pro x64 flawlessly. Still can't figure out the MCE keyboard and remote to work in this OS though.

Intel 940 @ 4.1
Asus P5ND2-SLI
XFX 7300GS
Realtek HD Audio 5.1
2 GIG DDR II (OCZ Value)
360 GIG SATA
Power Color 550 MCE
Cyberlink remote
Arctic Freezer 9
x64 and yes it works like a charm!!!!
