Ive want to convert my current setup to a HTCP. Currently ive got a water cooled setup with the following Specs:

C2D e6300
BFG 8800GTS
2GB Geil Ultra Low Latency blah blah.......
320GB SeaGate 7200 Barracuda.........
Gigabyte DS3P motherboard
its all water cooled
with a DTEK fusion CPU block and a EK GPU block

il need a new case and all the other bits and bobs i was just wondering using what ive got either to sell or use how much would it cos to make a low noise HTPC obviously not water cooled.

Many thanks Bryan

i was thinking of saving cash by using Media Portal instead of buying vista or xp media centre does anyone rate it?

That keysonic looks alright for the cash i wonder if the batteries last a good length of time or not.

Yeah i was looking around and there are plenty of cheap cases out there, and im sure they would be ok once the fans are replaced.

I might download media portal and have a bash and see what its like.
