Retired my old desktop and replaced it with a nice new laptop a few months back:
HP DV51139tx
intel t9400
4gb ram
geforce 9600m gt 512mb graphics
400gb hard drive
a few other bells and whistles
Also added a 1tb hard drive to the htpc. That's almost full however so might have to shell out for another.
Picked up an xbox 360 wireless controller adaptor for the htpc to crank some NBA Jam with MAME. So awesome![]()

lol, i've still got this computer, funny how mine's the worst and i'm the one studying computing
upgraded to a geforce 9600gt though (the gddr3 one), it's the second best graphics card i could get for agp, pretty damn good actually. don't see why anyone needs a crazy pc, unless you want to max out crysis... i haven't even tried, but i bet my pc could run it playable
also fixed my bluescreen issue, it was the power supply. no idea how that causes bluescreens, but it did (it was 450w), and now i'm on a 350w running perfectly fine too.
