OK, so we’re going out to get a new TV tonight — one of those 32″ LCD panels sounds good.
We got an LG 32LC2D 32″ LCD Panel. Very nice Also, ordered the bits for the new PC, and a new motherboard and videocard for the HTPC box.

Since we’re getting that… and I thought I should upgrade my home PC again (it’s been 18months, about the usual for me).

My current PC will become a Windows Media Centre box…
