Originally, since my video card was dying, I figured maybe it was time to get a boomin' new laptop and switch over to NAS for file storage. Thanks to the unrefusable deal I got on a 23" 1080p widescreen LCD, I think I'll be sticking with the desktop box for a while.
Phase 1:
Replace dying Ati Radeon 9800AV video card with Asus AH3650 Dual-DVI
Also noticed that the Ati was dying because the fan had spun off and was lying on the bottom of the case - lol!
