Today the last two key components arrived: the graphics card and the OS. For the graphics card I went with the BFG 7900 GT OC. It’s a 256MB, 256 bit, PCI Express x16 card which uses Nvidia’s latest chip (24 pixel pipelines). It comes out of the box slightly overclocked, but I might end up taking it higher. And of course I might eventually pick up another one to run them in SLI.
As far as the OS, I went with XP Media Center. Pretty easy choice here – cheaper than XP Pro and added media playback features that will work great with the small touchscreen on the case.
Now let the build begin!
