Once you see the new specs of my new computer I'm buying, you'll shit bricks.
I just wish I knew more about TV cards gonk; (I'm setting up a Tivo rip off)
Also, can someone fill me in on DIV cables a little bit? What do they look like? I'm replacing our carpet in my room, my bathroom, and hopefully my brothers room. It's really really hard work, but I get paid like crazy.

As for cords, I wouldn't know.

I don't have the money yet, It's about $300 for me to replace the carpet with wood flooring in one room, professionally it would cost about $500 if you got a professional to do it. I've already replaced some to pay for my 360.

Lulz, gay cables. awesome;
Anyways, it looks pretty good. I'd have gotten 2GB of RAM, but whatever.
Meh, I don't see why you really need the Tivo thing, but whatever. Do you have to walk downstairs to watch TV or something?

It's cool being able to watch your shows later whenever you want to.

I'll get the other 1gb later, the computer that I listed is very powerful and costs me a shit load anyways.
Most expensive thing I've ever actually started to save up for.

Tivo? No, I just would like to be able to record shows onto my computer and pause them and crap.
I used to torrent tv shows for this reason but I'd rather not torrent them because it's illegal.
All I need now is a DVI-I -> DVI-D/VGA splitter cable and then the money caterpie;
Not bad. You should get a processor that is known to work with x86 so you may dual boot Windows and OS X; at least, that's what I'd do.
woah that's alot of $$$ all together.

I still haven't bought any of it, no money right now, besides the money I'm spending to buy some old PC games. Also I have to get a different video card since Newegg doesn't have that one anymore. The one I was looking at recently is about $400
gonk;
