When I build my new system, I'll have a whole new box of parts to play around with, including:
AMD Sempron 2400+ (Socket A)
MSI KM3M-V mATX board (with an IGP)
512Mb RAM
40Gb HDD with XP Pro SP2 (yes, its an OEM version but it's being used with the same mobo)
I'm considering buying a small mATX case and PSU and fitting these parts into it along with an IDE DVD drive, possibly adding a cheap AGP low profile GPU and upping the RAM to 1Gb, then using this as a small media centre for iPlayer, and streaming media from the network (via a Belkin USB Wi-Fi adapter).
Is this worth doing, and can anyone suggest a cheap but stylish case for doing this with?
