FALCON PUNCH!!!
I need to upgrade my main frontend. The case I have is too small and the proprietary PSU simply can't handle modern hardware. It'll shut down occasionally from thermal overload. Bad Thing (TM). Also, some of my media has started coming down the chute in 720p format. I can run 'em pretty well, but it'll skip once in a blue moon. Not bad for pegging the proc to its max (3000+).
So I started looking around at decent HTPC cases and came across this on the galactic garage sale:
BLACK ALUMINUM HTPC MEDIA CENTER MCE303 CASE - (eBay item 160188292000 end time Dec-09-07 17:14:54 PST)
The integrated remote is the same one I am using, Myth can be set up to use the
VFD without much trouble, and I can put in a REAL power supply. Hardware-wise I only plan to upgrade to a dualcore processor and leave it at that. Everything else (maybe get a new vidcard) works great.
Opinions?
