Samsung SpinPoint F1 ECO Green 500Gb for $50 (Warm?)

"Lame" seems a tad harsh. 500G 7200 tend to be about $60. As you say, the slower (assuming quieter) speed would be ideal for an HTPC.

Prebuilt vs. Custom

Hop on newegg, punch in the hardware and see for yourself. Pre-builts tend to be less expensive, but you get what they offer in most cases, and compromise on what you want. Who makes the PSU? What brand is the RAM? If you don't want the 8500 (understandable) perhaps its worth getting the one...

Huge deal of AMD processors

I don't believe its racist (I certainly hope not) - its just that shills seem to always select that Avatar. It may be the first in the selection or something.

Sennheiser PC140 Gaming Headset - $17.99 shipped

Well, I haven't heard them, so I wouldn't recommend them- yet. Try and find some reviews for them. I am only buying them for gaming because I seem to crunch a pair every time I go to a LAN party.

6800GT PCI-E Availibility

Well Wax, I am right there with you. My order for a GT at Chumbo is looking dubious at best. I have beautiful parts sitting in their boxes, and a LAN party in a week or so. Unless something miraculous happens over the weekned, I will be buying a 6600GT. I think I can get one for a little...

A8N-SLI Memory DDR400 or DDR600?

The lesson with AMD64 chips is that if you plan on overclocking, you may not want to blow a lot of cash on high-speed memory. Take a look here: Some benchmarks The same info is available on these forums, but I can't find em right off the bat.
