My current setup is the following:
- Case: Shuttle SP35P2 Pro
CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz
Memory: 2 x 1GB DIMM DDR2 Synchronous 800 MHz
Gfx: XFX GeForce 8400 GS
Tuner: Hauppauge WinTV-NOVA-T-500
HDD: 2 x 1TB
Obviously I'll need a new case that can store 4+ HDD's, also due to my setup the case sits behind my tv it needs to be take up very little room.
A new case means I need a new motherboard, most new motherboards available now don't support my existing components so I would require a new CPU, Memory, tv card (My old one uses a conventional PCI slot)
Also, the mini-ITX mobos don't have two expansion slots so don't have enough room for the Gfx card and tv tuner, think I need to understand the onboard gfx for mITX a bit more
At the end of the day the cost of the upgrade starts to get quite high, does anyone have any suggestions how I could make this a bit cheaper? At the moment I'm thinking upgrade to a 2-3TB HDD and wait another few months until that gets full
