Ah, that's great news!! Here's what I'm thinking:
Antec Fusion 430 Silver Case
GIGABYTE GA-G31M-S2L LGA 775 Intel G31 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard
---http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128078
Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 Conroe 2.66GHz 4M shared L2 Cache LGA 775 65W
Dual-Core Processor
---http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115029
Crucial Ballistix 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400)
Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory
---http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820146565
And I'll just use the same hard drives and Tuners that I'm already
using, PVR-350 and AverMedia A180.
So what do you guys think? too much? too little?
