hay just to let you know the antec 430 in black comes with a remote and no psu! i got one myself from komplett.... tbh the remote is useless if you have a wireless keyboard. the cool thing about it though is you can turn it on/off via the remote.


and the lg drive is only 98 on dabs! and i think the 1066 ram might be overkill if ur cpu doesnt have the same fsb

ive ordered a tv tuner card with a remote control with it... no idea yet if i can interface that with winamp.

I found a nice app that you could install on a symbian nokia phone that would let you control your computer over bluetooth. was quite handy. had remote desk top too (not 100% working)
