New Look

It's similar, but kind of different - I realized that there were no links for comments with the old template, so I switched it up.

In other news, the new MediaPC is up and running (and has been for a little while, actually).

Specs:

• Gigabyte GA-EP35-DS3R
• Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 (not OC-ed)
• 2GB of DDR2 PC6400 from Crucial (it was ridiculously cheap at Fry's so I figured I'll upgrade when PC8500 drops in price)
• ASUS EAH3650 Silent Graphics w/ 512MB of DDR3
• Antec Sonata III Case with an EarthWatts 500W Power Supply
• Samsung SH-S202J IDE DVD±RW
• KWorld ATSC 120 HD TV Tuner Card
• Seagate 750GB SATA HD
• Vista Ultimate 32-Bit Edition

My MS contact couldn't swing a copy of XP MCE, so I went with Vista. I originally installed the 64-Bit edition (both are included when you buy Ultimate), but was running into a lot of Media Center stability issues, so I clean installed 32-Bit . . . after two 64-bit edition reformats/clean installs :)

I've still got an image of my Windows Partition just after installation of Windows and essential software for 64-bit, so if the drivers and support come up to speed, I might revert to that.

Next Upgrade: New TV! (but not for a while)
