Alright guys and gals its pretty late but I've been wondering.....If I was to make a multimedia machine would this be alright to start with and would these upgrades be good enough for what I want.???? Crazy as it sounds my dad just gave me a RAID server tower that he's had for a couple of years i think 1 or 2 that no one knew about but him. It has 200gb of storage which is more than enough storage for anything........the processor is a little slow only being a 1.4ghz athlon.........it has 512mb of ddr ram on it...........i don't remember what kind of video card it has all i know is that he bought the top of the line at that time so there isn't really any telling what it is.........it also has a good sound system for it .........my plans are to upgrade the cpu and mobo to an AMD Athlon 2700+ with a DFI "NFII ULTRA INFINITY" nForce2 Ultra 400 Chipset Motherboard for AMD Socket A CPU.........and also purchase the NEC 16x dual dual disc burner drive all for new egg.........the moniter i have now is a viewsonic g810 which is a big monitor and never been used to this day but i was thinking since i wanted to play movies through it mainly i was going to get a projector not sure what kind or model and screen to go along this all after 6-8 months of saving.......does anyone have any advice...???? thanks
