I shall be building a new comp, as the i7 was basically a build of passion, but obviously I know that it is too powerful for just a media center.
I have a spare 2 gig stick left as Windows 7 does not like 6 gigs for some reason, so stuck with 4 gigs for more stability.
Originally my system was more for games, but then I got seriously into XBMC and media streaming, and having such gorgeous skins.
Now that XBMC is leaving the past, then skins will be more and more hi tech, but in some respects, when THE skin comes out then it would be very hard to top.
I think if you are a futurist, then it becomes more of a passion and obsession than a hobby.
