Here's the deal: The TV's D-sub port has developed a fault, luckily I have a spare HDMI port Unluckily my living room's PC doesn't have a HDMI port
The PC is currently a big old Antec ATX case so my thoughts are to cannibise the components from the current PC and try and build a a nice HT/SFF PC for the bits, these are:
Intel E2140 (currently running at 3Ghz) + Arctic Cooler 7 Pro
XFX 650i Ultra motherboard
Enermax 525W PSU
8800GT 512Mb (2x DVI)
2Gb RAM (probably Corsair, can't remember brand)
80Gb Seagate 3.5" drive
DVD/R Rom
Antec SLK3000B Case
I also have a 3850 256Mb sitting around (2x DVI)
The system also needs to be capable of some light gaming, say Left 4 Dead @ 60fps 1280x1024
The system as it currently stands is a noisy bugger, mainly due to the AC7 Pro I think, not sure if it PWM is set-up correctly.
My budget is £150 or so, and I'm happy to sell what I don't use to help towards the budget (although if neither of the graphics cards are used, the 8800GT will be going in another PC).
I'm not sure which way to take this, just swop out the graphics card for something mid range with a HDMI port, or rebuilt the whole PC with one or two new components around a nicer chassis (if it's possible within my budget!)
Any thoughts all?
