So I'm thinking about selling my computer and picking up a Mac Mini. I don't use my desktop as often as I used to, and so I'm just looking for something smaller to replace it.
So, on with the specs:
Asus P4P800-E Deluxe (http://www.asus.com/products4.aspx?l1=3&l2=12&l3=31&model=178&modelmenu=1) Motherboard
Intel Pentium 4E 3.0Ghz Processor (Hyper-Threading and 1MB L2 Cache)
ATI All-in-Wonder Radeon 9700 (http://www.ati.com/products/radeon9700/aiw9700/index.html) Video Card (built-in TV tuner so you can watch and record TV on the computer)
Western Digital 120GB SATA Hard Drive
Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeMusic (http://www.creative.com/products/product.asp?category=1&subcategory=208&product=14066) Sound Card
1GB (2 x 512MB) DDR400 Memory
16x Dual-layer DVD+-RW Burner (also burns regular CDs too)
2nd DVD-ROM Reader
I've made this PC to be Vista ready, and it has run all the pre-release versions of Vista without a hitch and with all the visual effects enabled. The motherboard also has built-in Dolby Digital output so it would make a great HTPC along with the TV tuner. Also, the X-Fi sound card sounds VERY good especially if you hook it up to a 5.1 computer speaker system.
The video card is about 6 months old, the motherboard and processor are about a year old. I put it together myself, and it runs flawlessly. It's been a great computer and should suit you well.
Looking to get $500 for it as it's still pretty powerful and quick.
