Media Setup

[KingDing]

Hi Guys. I been here for a while but i have been thinking recenly of updating my home server.

At the moment i have a Home Server/Download box/media center.

I going to upgrade but i only have 150 to spend. The old system is a AN8 socket 939. But the sata ports are intamitantly faulty.

First idea. Seperate Media centre.

Mini ITX and case

Use the old system as a server

Second idea. Upgrade the old system.

Sata Card
New Case
New GFX Card (HDMI)
Sound Card (Optical Out)

What are your thoughts and which. Is there a cheap HDMI/Op Out mother board out there?

Thanks Guys
