Expensive enough to not warrent buying it right now This is a "ghetto" HTPC build remember - spend only what I have to

Right, well after fucking up the display with Powerstrip this morning I had to reinstall, so I used a "special" version of XP Home I procured from the internet Which was the one I initially tried to install which kept failing. Worked perfect this time, and now, after a "tweak" I don't have the 30-day pop up anymore So we shall see if it continues to work after 30-days

So other than a bigger HDD (for the USB attached drive) and an optical soundcard (for passing DD5.1 and DTS to my AVR) and an optical mouse that works over a couple metre's I think I am sorted
