New Windows Media Center PC
Shhhh..Don’t tell anyone..I just ordered a brand new Windows Media Centre PC. Below are the Specs!
Case: Coolermaster Cavalier CAV-T04
Motherboard: ASUS A8N-SLI Premium
Memory: 1GB DDR Ram
CPU: AMD 64 3000 Venice Chipset
Storage: 200GB WD SATA II 8MB Hard Drive I will also be adding another 100GB internal and 300GB External drive as well.
Graphics Card: ASUS 6600 TD 256MB PCI-E
TV Card: I already have Happauge one in my exisiting Media Centre
Now that brings me to the exsiting Media Centre PC I own. Awhile back I rebuilt a Dell Dimension 8200 to use it with Media Centre. Well we’ve started to have issues and decided rather than upgrade I would by a new Media Centre box and use the existing machine as a Windows Vista test machine. I got got special deal on the new system so it was cheaper and easier than doing it myself. The existing one is getting a bit old and is a bit too noisy to have in the lounge room.
Well it arrives tomorrow so I’ll do a further post on how the setup goes and what the performance is like.
This is going to be fun!
cheers
