I wasn't sure exactly which topic to put this under so please excuse me if I picked incorrectly. It seemed to fit under a few.

I have recently moved my HTPC to a different room but now I use it for all tasks and not just watching TV, listening to music, or watching videos. Unfortunatly the age of my setup is starting to show. If I start WMC and shrink the window to watch TV while doing other tasks (internet or anything,)the computer slows to a crawl. I've been wanting to rebuild for awhile now so its not that big of a deal.

Here is the worry though. The computer is an old Dell XPS 420 I bought brand new because it came with dual external ATI CableCard tuners. These were only available OEM with a system purchase as far as I know. Also when you setup WMC you have to enter a seperate Microsoft product key in order to use digital content.

If I build a new computer will I still be able to use the tuners and product key?
