Media center remote
After waiting a whole 24 hours from ordering from Ascent I received a lovely package in the mail, My Media center remote. I had several other pc remotes from previous systems but if your gonna run windows media center you need the proper remote not to mention the cool backlit buttons and if you don't get one your not cool 
This little pressie is the first in a long line. Next up a decent silverstone case and silent PSU , the some HDD ( maybe microsoft can give me some windows home server love ) the probably a new motherboard and ram so I can get vista media center cranking
