[QUOTE="revs, post: 319437, member: 42810"] Depending on the type of video, 1080p playback is easily acheived now with a cheap (~£30 GBP) graphics card that offers hardware acceleration. A fast CPU is not needed. However - playback of 1080p AVI/MKV files would require a fast CPU, as the graphics card if not used. I suggest a Core2Duo based machine, 2GB of RAM, and a cheap graphics card that handles hardware accel (ATI 3450/3650). That shouldnt cost you much, and you can get it all in a pretty small case. Should be low heat too, so low noise! [/QUOTE]
