Okay people, i've come into some old parts from a friends computers he was throwing out. I'm wanting to try and make a mini shuttle to play films and things on my telly.
Now these components are quite old, but i have 2 20gb hard drives. About 780mb of ram (pc2700 i think). A soundcard, and an mx400 video card + ati rage soemthing or other card.
If these cards aren't good enough i can stick a new heatsink on my old agp 6600gt i have lying around to give it a bit more oomph.
What sort of board/processor/case would people recommend, and will it be fast enough to install i dunno, media centre on it to play files.
Basically i want it with the same xvid playback functionality as my newly softmodded xbox downstairs.
