[QUOTE="jimmyeatappl, post: 164510, member: 53722"] Alright this is mostly for my benefit to get everything needed in this upgrade out there. If any of you have suggestions, notice problems, or have support/experience please do not hesitate to post. Alright my current set up with a Dell GX280, pictured here: [IMG]http://www.pcrent.co.kr/shop/upload/goods/a93437_dell-gx280.jpg[/IMG] It has a P4e 3.2 and a GB of ram. Gforce FX5500 with svideo and vga out. It has a lowprofile PCI-E slot and 2 full size PCI slots. It has a USB remote and a USB Wireless B card. My current TV is too horrible to post a picture here, I don't want to break yall's monitors. Its a spherical 19", literally you see stuff you didn't catch if you stand behind it. What I want to upgrade to is this and I need to know if there will be technical issues with this. The TV will be a 26" or 32" HDTV capable of 720p @ 1366 x 768 pixils. 2 HDMI inputs and all the other fixings for the Wii360. [IMG]http://www.circuitcity.com/IMAGE/product/enlarged/ele/EC.ELE.FLX2610.JPG[/IMG] I will be purchasing this video card. Its a 7300GS, with limited GPU acceleration for HD signal, but the P4 should be able to pick up the slack. The main thing is that it comes with a low profile bracket. That is a DVI-I port and an S-video, the VGA will be pulled. [IMG]http://images10.newegg.com/NeweggImage/productimage/14-145-137-07.jpg[/IMG] My aim is to hook up the computer over the DVI-I port with a DVI to HDMI converter. I will install a widescreen skin to Media Portal. I will have the SD video from cable going directly into the back of the tv because I use media portal more as a way to get my dvd collection onto the television in a sleek, easy way, rather than a fully functional DVR.
