I am waiting for the MSI K8N2 mother board to arrive. It should be a beauty, and has nForce 3 on it.

I've been running an NF3 for over a year now, and really have loved it. I had a little trouble with the bata drivers, but the newer ones are fine. It was a real early set of parts, here is what the first screen displayed

If you looking at setting up a PC as a DVD / Entertainment PC, you might want to look at Windows Media Center 2005. It's based off XP, but with some addition features, including the ability to work w/ multiple video capture cards & a GUI designed for TV Screens.
