Also on the truck was some hardware that I’ve been waiting for to put together my HTPC.  I got a pair of 640GB Seatage HDDs, a Palit HD 3850 GPU and a Hauppauge WinTV PVR-150.  I know this won’t be a killer PC or anything, but it should do fine with a ASUS M3A78-EMH motherboard and a Phenom 9550 CPU.  It will be sitting comfortably in the Thermaltake DH-101 HTPC case and be hooked to my 40″ 720p LCD TV and the Axiom Audiobyte speakers.   It will be a nice change and will support both BD and HD-DVD playback and be hooked to a network media server for kicks.

It will replace a DVD-Recorder, HD-DVD player and BD player that currently sit under my TV.  It will also have a pair of Wireless XBOX 360 controllers for some easy Windows gaming (such as DMC4 and Lego Indiana Jones).  When it’s all up and running I’ll post up some pictures.
