I've just put myself together a new desktop computer for home - the other one was having heat issues and I was not looking forward to summer.

Opted for Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit. So far everything is working but I guess most things connected aren't that old.

I have this one set up as a TV recorder - 2 x dual DVB-T PCI Express cards so can record 4 channels at once if required. OS drive is 500GB, and I striped two 1.5TB drives together to hold TV shows; that way if there are any really good sporting moments that you want to relive there should be enough space to keep them...

Successfully copied everything required off my old computer so far; hardest part was getting Windows 7 to install on the 500GB drive - ended up installing Linux on it first as there must have been some previous Windows 7 RC leftovers on there stopping Windows 7 from installing???
