Just installed my new treats

Finally decided to go all out with my HTPC. Nvidia 7800GT & Pioneer DVDRW 115DBK are boxed up and have been replaced with....


Sapphire ATI Radeon HD 3450 Silence 256MB DDR2 TV-Out/DVI/HDMI (PCI-Express) - Retail

&


LG GGC-H20L Blu-Ray Reader & HD-DVD ROM Serial ATA Drive - Retail

Let the fun times begin!

It's PCI-E sorry. Haven't had a AGP card since my 6800GS.

[WalkinTarget]

Yea, same here. But guess what ... I still have 2 AGP boards up and running and I was looking for a better card than the existing 6800 I have in there.

Its clearly obvious to me that my wife's PC should be decked out with at least a 7800 AGP card, hence my interest.


Blu-Ray, eh ? I hardly watch an TV much less movies. I bet we as a family rent less than 5 movies a year, 3 of which are for the kids and two which my wife and I usually never get around to watching. My DVD collection is still in the single digits.

nice upgrade Juneau. Prices seem really reasonable. Well done.

Which is why i did it. ?85 for the drive or ?250 for a standalone. Not a hard decision to make.

That all looks good I don't have much of a clue when it comes to HTPCs but Im still enjoy seeing someone get the best bang for their buck.
