I have an old HTPC I no longer need. It's a little old, but still useful.
Case: Silverstone LC11 in Silver (mATX case, looks like A/V component)
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-K8N51GMF
CPU: Athlon 64 3200+ Socket 754 with Zalman cooler (quite for HTPC use)
Chipset: nVidia nForce 4 - 410/6100
RAM: 2 x 512MB DDR400
HDD: 160GB Samsung IDE
ODD: LG 8x DVD-RW
Expansion: 2 x PCI, 1 x 16xPCIE, 2 x SATA
Ports: 1 x COM, PS/2 keyboard/mouse, 8 x USB2, 1 x VGA, 1 x Parallel, 2 x Firewire, Rear Optical and Coax SPDIF, 6 channel analog out, 100mb LAN, 56k windmodem
The case is a little rough (missing flip down CD tray cover, one broken front USB port) but it is solid. This machine is very stable and has never bluescreened on me. It's running Windows 7 right now, but with only 1gb ram it's a little slow. The on-board Geforce 6100 handles the Aero interface though!
I used to have a PCIE Geforce 8600GT and a dual TV tuner PCI card in this with Windows XP media center and it worked very well. It should still be fine for Hulu, Netflix Streaming, Win7 Media Center, etc. I don't think it will handle Blu-ray though.
If you're in North AL near Huntsville or Middle TN I can meet you wherever you like, just PM me.
