I've been building a media PC for a freind and currently have a Pentium D 915 2.8 processor in there. This may not be enough to provide the grunt it needs as it will be doing Blu-Ray\HD DVD, although it does have an ATI 3450 which should offload this processing.
The heat that the Pentium D puts out though is a little disturbing and a cooler Core 2 would be a good swap. Does anyone have a spare\old one in a drawer they would consider selling?
I have a brand new core 2 processor and fan lying around.. or is that not what you want?
Thats exactly what I'm after. What model is it?
Don't know of the TOP of my head, but when i get home i'll get it for you.

Slightly OT - I thought almost all Blueray/HD was done by the processor?
Certainly for transcoding. The AMD64 5000+ X2 has trouble with 1080p streaming to the XBOX360 here.
Model: E6750
Intel Core 2 Duo 2.66Ghz

How much do you want?
