i just sold my windows 7 ult 64 and 32 set on ebay got about $150ish (after paying ebay) left over i am thinking about building a new computer with that money, my pentium 3 movie/file server (177-45-34-FPS) is getting a little too old, it was a dell OptiPlex GX110 (slimline) that i added 512MB SDR / 1GHz Pentium 3 w/ new HSF (tried with pentium 3 tualatin woun't work) / 1TB HDD (250+250+500GB) and some case mod too and keep droping $$ in to it it's just now worth it
no i am looking at a new Intel Atom 330 set D945GCLF2D (newegg) and A1019HG (newegg) for $130 and then drop 2 IDE 250 and a 1TB in to it
this is going to be set up:

the idea of this system is that
LOW power (150W)
MID performance that's able to play music large capacity (330 dual core + 2GB DDR2 + 1.5TB HDD)
no need for movie play back but would be nice if passable
cheep as passable
this system will be on 24/7
i already have the ram all the HDD the nb cooler i am thinking about snap it on
all i need now is the motherboard and the case
what do you guys think about this new setup i will take all recommendations
