I got my HD Sony TV today (asked it for christmas, delivery was a bit 'late'...).
Anyway, once I get a HDMI cable, I will show you how it looks when connected to a computer. It's awesome, I tested it in the store.
It's a 32 inch wide TV (82 cm)

You've just earned a whole lot of respect for having Snatch and Fight Club in your movie collection, damn good movies.
That screen also looks sweet, I can just imagine playing BF2 on it or such.
Mind you, won't the resolution be kinda fubar for some games?

Well the resolution for the HD TV is enough for I want to do:
this screen can handle : 1366 x 768 pixels

Sony KLV-S32A10 bravia
And to support that I have aquite decent computer as Icedog said:
2GB DDR RAM PC3200
Athlon 64 3500+
7200RPM SATA HDD
Geforce 6800GT AGP8X 256 MB DDR3
Anyway, I still need to buy one of those Dvi to HDMI cable to get the stuff on the TV. The cost is a bit high: 92 Euros (like 100 dollars for one) And I need to save a bit my money this month for other stuff, Once I get the money next month I will post screenshots with some game tests on that huge 'computer screen'.
(and IKEA rules. )

Almost same here, except I only have 1 250gb SATA hdd and an athlon 4000+.
Just out of curiosty what is RAID and what does it do? I'm only really starting to get into the computer building phase.

RAID allows you to link two hard drives together. If I remember correctly, this is how it goes:
RAID 0:
Two hard drives are linked together. The total space is the combined space of both of the drives.
RAID 1:
The contents of one drive are copied onto the second drive for further backup of data.
It's something like that at least. Just search Google for a better answer.
w00t?

Actually we're at Raid 5 at the moment, which uses a minimum of 3 HDD's. It randomly uses 1 to put part of the data, one other for another part of the data and the third for a control data. When one crashes, it can restore the data thanks to the info on the other 2 disks. When you put 4 or more HDD's in, more than one may crash at the same time, it'll still be able to restore your data.
It's normally only used for servers, seems like a bit of overkill for a home computer.
