I've been putting off building another PC for myself. I had all the parts from
various upgrades, I just couldn't decide on what to do. I came up with a diagram
because it hurt my brain thinking about it.

I now have an HTPC machine (Darwin) and a Gaming Machine (Floyd).
Darwin is my AthlonXP 2200+ (nforce2) and Floyd is my Athlon64 2800+ (nforce3)

Darwin has two TV tuner cards, my Soundblaster Live Value.
An Nvidia MX440 AGP Video Card and a Promise ATA133 PCI Controller Card.
Since Darwin is my Media Server/PVR Box it he has most of my Hard Drives.

Floyd has my ATI Radeon 9700Pro 8X AGP Video Card. Floyd is running
pretty bare, he has a 40gig Seagate and a 100gig IBM Deathstar.
Floyd will be used mainly for Gaming and Crunching SETI or P2P stuff.

Bob-Jr (Athlon 1600+) will go off the network and will be retired from P2P work.
He will give up the Deathstar P2P Drive and probably some RAM.
