    New build....first HTPC...thoughts and advice would be most welcome:

    I've not bought anything yet... I think I'm pretty much set on the case as it's the perfect size, I really like the looks, I really like silverstone, etc. I've just remembered I have a E6600 which may or may not work, lying around, so I'll try that first and if it doesn't work - get a 5400...

    I think the 5750 draws 18W idling for 2d, 120ish idling 3d and 180ish on load. I don't mind that considering it won't be displaying anything most of the time. (which sounds like a weird thing to say, but you know what I mean.

    Windows 7

    One thing I will say is that it's made my macbook as hot as it's ever been (except when playing football manager) and I'm just surfing

    Windows 7

    Sweet - glad it's sorted :) If you just stick your osx disk in once the win7 install has finished and run the setup from the bootcamp directory - sorts out sound, graphics mouse etc, etc, n/w supported out the box with win 7. I also got the new touchpad driver for vista from the apple site...

    Windows 7?

    I've just installed on my Ali MBP. (Boot camp). Seems OK - Not had a play with the new features yet. Trackpad support could be better. I've always been a Windows user until I got a MBP about a month ago. It's a really lovely piece or hardware. I never used Vista and I don't think os-X is...

    Logitech ClearChat PC Wireless Headset (finally a decent stereo wireless headset)

    Hooray! After wanting a decent wireless gaming headset for years, I got the Logitech Clearchat Wireless. It's perfect, good sound, huge mute button on the right headphone (or muting when you move the mic boom up). Works to about 25 feet through brick walls, but it don't really care...
