I've got a bunch of stuff laying around...
centurion case, evga geforce 6800gt PCI-E card, 2 gigs of corsair ram, 2 twin 250 gig ide drives a 200 gig sata drive, evga 680i motherboard <which never got used> power supply, and a dual core duo 1.8ghz chip...
So I'm thinking a media server... That or sell it all as a system
I was thinking stream music to stereos, stream video to the tv, hold the files off my main system, remotely control it, convert my dvds to avi's... etc...
I have all of the physical stuff, and all the know how to build it. But I'm pretty knew past just hooking up tv-out... unfortunately I cant run a svideo this far, plus I want something easier to expand than running cable in walls if at all possible. Though i am not currently against it./
I'd really appreciate any advice.
Do i need an x-fi card? I dont currently use 5.1, but my integrated has it if I want it.
Did I forget to include any info?
Thanks in advance
