Only downside to these 2 clients is no I/R.
There is a new case coming the Origen ae M10. This looks the dogs dangly bits.

If you go separate GPU, consider the 4550 as a minimum - the 4350 is probably not much better than the 780g+HT3 cpu.

I had this happen with a big power spike/ lights dimmed in the house, etc. The PSU fried even through the powerstrip. Turned out I had a cheapie powerstrip with just the amp breaker on it.

You remember correct: 25W, while the 4850 is 110W. Its huge difference! Now, what I also consider, is gaming capacity. While the 4550 gives 96 GFLOPS, the 4850 gives 1000. Of course there is other ways to check performance, but 10 times should count for something. Actually it is possible to get the 4850 as passive cooled, but still it...

I guess it all depends on what kind of games you want to play.
A few days ago, someone told me that his Core Duo E8400(3Ghz) with an Ati 3870/512Mb on Xp is not able to play GTA4 which seems to run fine on a PlayStation.
I'm not a gamer, so I cannot give you any advice on that.

There is really excellent Feedback here, and i think the comments are Spot on.
as jsimmons suggested, and I can tell you this one from experience, use a seperate drive as your boot/os drive.
That way if anything should happen to that, or you need to re-install your OS, there is no need to worry about your media collection, just...

This is a good idea, I may look into it soon. So far, this board has played back HD content so smoothly that I haven't even thought about it. The playback is so much superior to what I had before that I haven't gotten around to playing with codecs, or even installing the ones I already own like PowerDVD.
As to the questions...

IF I'm ripping, transcoding, transferring, and streaming HD all at once, it definitely gets taxed, but it has...
