Lets see your setup. Post pics.

d3cypher, I'm partial to Intel also, but those AMD's are really trashing the P4's in some of the game benchmarks lately. I'll have to let it all settle out in 64bit before I upgrade again. For some reason I seem to buy a new machine whenever id comes out with a new game engine, so I'm probably good for awhile.

This is my basement setup. The bottom machine is my server with mirrored 40 gigs, mainly for data and my 6000 digital pictures. The Black PC is a p4 2ghz. It is my main one, both monitors are off of a Nvidea quadro dual head, you can see this thread on the left monitor, and defrag on the right!. Ny cable box is on top of the P4 machine, and misc juck all around. Notice the cool aluminum bottles of Iron City!

This is my home network. Cisco wireless on the left, linksys router, 5 port switch, and cable modem. The panel underneath the shelf is my home wiring. Cat5 for phone and data, plus dual coax going to about 8 locations in my house.

This is my TV setup. 36" JVC (Sams Club about 2 years ago) MVP on top, sony dvd on left, teac receiver on right, wall jack is cat5 to the mvp, and coax to the TV. I removed the lower glas panes from the doors, and have my receiver speakers behind black speaker fabric stapled in the doors. This is where I view everything off of GBPVR. Thanks to Sub and everyone, there is no longer a VCR there, and cable box.
( I actually miss the digital clock)

I was expecting to see Solitaire on the TV in the last pic, since you're the only one that I think uses that plugin....

I think your system would be complete with a Do-It-Yourself Peltier Beverage Cooler.

Here's my first crack at an HTPC:



Antec SLK3700AMB w/ SL350W PSU
MSI K7N2GM2-LSR NVIDIA nForce2 w/ integrated graphics, S-video out, and integrated audio.
AMD XP 2100+
256MB PC3200 DDR (soon to be 768MB)
80GB WD SE 7.2K RPM HDD
PVR150MCE
USB-UIRT
Linksys USB Wireless to connect to broadband AP upstairs
TV is a Sony 36" WEGA HDTV

Pic was taken shortly after getting it all set up.  The keyboard and mouse is hidden behind the entertainment center now (not needed anymore).

How are you hooked up to that TV? Conposite/SVideo, or does it have a computer monitor hookup?
My InLaws have a 36" WEGA (Not HDTV). It is a nice piece of equipment. That must be real nice.

OOps, I guess don't quote an image....
