Yea, perhaps see if the Physix additions to Mirror's Edge on the PC are worth the delay. Even better on that TV!

If you were really concerned with the HDD read speed bottleneck you could get away with a much cheaper 10,000RPM HDD instead. Also 12GB of RAM is overkill, unless you plan on running a slideshow and have 15 IE windows running at the same time as Crysis. |
You could do a hell of a lot more than that. I know someone who plays COD4 on their workstation all while running two virtual machines.
12gb of ram would be useful in a video or photo editing environment though.
When you invest in a car and keep it in good condition for long enough, it can gain value. Not so for PC builds. Absolutely true. I recently saw an old SGI workstation from the mid 90s going for $12 on Craigslist. That same workstation was over 9 grand new.

Ewww...
THIS is what I would get:
http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/29/carl-zeiss-powerdomevelvet-planetarium-projector-2-500-000-1-c/
Hook it up to my beastly PC and play UT2004 in all its 1200p, larger than life (or any TV you could buy), adrenaline pumping, bloody glory. I once hooked up my computer to our non-HD projector back home, HOOOLY SH*T, TV's can't step on the small toe of even a cheap projector, much less an HD one (with 1200p native resolutoin nontheless!).
@Grey Acumen
That's false, I bet you I can sell my grandfather's extremely well kept 8-bit computer, in all it's green blob glory, for a VERY nice price to someone out there.
