Hi there

Well it's high time I got rid of my old HTPC hardware.  Since the motherboard died a while ago it's just been sitting on the shelf gathering dust.  I'll be building a new one soon, with a new case and specs so I don't have any need for the old box anymore.

So, for sale in Wellington (pickup please if possible) I have:

1x Silverstone LC14 Silver Case (front media buttons don't work, only Power and Reset). The case has 4 3.5" drive bays, and 2x 5.25" drive bays.  On the left side of the case there are 4x USB2.0 ports, 1x Firewire, and 2 audio in/out ports.  There are some slight scuffs along the case edges at the top - but not visible at all if the case is in an entertainment unit.

1x Enermax Noisetaker 360W PSU.  Runs near silently.

1x Hauppauge PVR 150+MCE Analogue TV Tuner

1x Nvidia N6600GT Silent video card with passive cooling heatsinks - runs silently.

1x 80Gb SATA-2 Hard Drive

1x Windows Vista Home Premium Upgrade - Retail Version.

There you have it, all the makings of a HTPC - just add your favourite motherboard and cpu combination.  The case takes an ATX motherboard.  I was running an Athlon 64 X2 3800+ CPU and Asus A8N-e Motherboard socket 939.  The CPU still works so if you've got a socket 939 motherboard I'll throw in the CPU and you're good to go.  I have a 1Gb stick of DDR400 memory as well if you DO have your own 939 motherboard.  If not it probably won't be compatible with whatever motherboard you buy.

I'd prefer to sell this as a complete kit, but am open to suggestions if you want to pick it apart.

Looking for $600 (neg) complete.  Meaning once you add a motherboard and CPU you're probably going to have a complete HTPC for $1000 or less.

If pics are required I'm happy to take some and post links to my Flickr.

Cheers
G.
