I am converting this desktop into a media center PC. I've already tested it, and it works perfectly - decodes full 1080p - even streams a full Blu-ray rip.
Below are the specs on the PC. It is currently in a mini-tower case. I am planning on getting an HTPC case, something like this one, which I think will work (let me know if it won't):

The current PSU is very, very loud. I'd like to put something quiet in there when I make the move to the new case.
Thanks for the advice. Choosing a PSU always confuses me - too many different options, sizes, connectors, etc.
