Old rigs've been dropping like flies around here.
Mike [fourtecks]:
I'd like to build a new system, my current one is going on 4 years old. However, I can't justify spending on the money on one when this one still runs like a champ and I really don't play any hardware stressing games anyways. I just like putting a computer together and the feeling of fast.
There is the possibility of building a media box that I can connect to the big TV in the living room so I can stream movies to it or emulation. I can connect my laptop to it, but it's too much hassle compared to a dedicated box.
Sergeant Kelly:
Sounds like a pretty beastly system. I hope you get somma dat BF3 so you can make use of it.
I better warn you though, if you have one of those gigantic monitors even your 560 is going to have a little trouble with it. My quad-core, GTX 460 machine was running fine at 1400x900 on all high, but now that I've upgraded to 1920x1200 it gets choppy unless it's at medium.
Additionally, you could have waited a month or two for Nvidia's 600 series cards to come out. You would have seen a nice price drop for your 560!

Was unaware I had a problem. I'll have to look into that now.
