I am finishing up the conversion of this free PC into a media/HT PC.
I've found a case that can handle my 8800GTS and still be cool and quiet, I've found a new motherboard/cool running processor to use (AMD 5050E/780 chipset), I've even been doing research on a remote starter, which likely won't happen as this comp will run 99.9% of the time.
I've got the new case and hard drive (640GB SE16 WD, going to triple boot XP/Vista/Ubuntu once I get my new board). I'll likely leave the videocard as the rare times I do play demanding games I can live with 4x AA.
But now I've got to find a solution to the cabling dilemma...
The monitor/case can sit across the room from my chair/bed, and I want a good mouse/keyboard that can be used wirelessly, cheaply, and not have any sort of delay.
So recommendations to further my project?
