An HIS HD 3450 256mb PCie. Really nice card & very cheap!

Just checked it out and you can get it for $47. That is cheap for a HD card.

I'll probably get the AMD HDMI gigabyte MB. For about a $100 you get all the bells and whistles in one unit. I'm just a bit worried that I'll have TV issues with RC1 like other people have had with it on this forum.

RC1 is just that, a release candidate and is rapidly maturing. I'd still give it a try.

What Media Portal skin is that? (is it even media portal)?

EDIT: Spinsafe?

Yep.

But since RC1 I use Monochrome 2.0 (With my own backround) now.

I'll post some updated pics whn I get a chance.
