I'm thinking of buying one of these and building my own PC: From: http://www.msicomputer.com/product/detail_spec/product_detail.asp?model=MEGA_651 If anyone has anything like this, some advice would be appreciated. Thanks, Sachin
I think there would be problems getting a high performer into a case like that. High or even medum level graphic cards need more power and put out more heat than the case can probably deal with. With only one external drive bay, I would also want a DVD/CD writer, and it isn't an option on the box you chose. (But you do have 1394 and USB ports, so you can get external drives.) If you just wanted to do Windows stuff, it should be fine. It sounds great for a dorm room.
Why? Just hook up your PC audio output right into the Aux port of your existing High End Stereo System and your off to the races. Wire your house so that you can have speakers in several zones and then purchase an 8 zone audio multiplexer. All the music in my house has been controlled by my PC for almost 4 years now. I setup lists based on moods. Of course the lists are always being updated because new stuff if coming out everyday. Hope this helps!
