[QUOTE="thinksnow, post: 16143, member: 11265"] I have, on hand right now: [b]GeForce[/b] MX4000 (low-profile, passive cool, VGA, S-Vid, Comp-Vid) MX440 (full-size, active-cool, VGA, S-Vid, DVI) FX5200 (full-size, active-cool, VGAx2, S-Vid) TI4200 (full-size, active-cool, VGA, S-Vid, DVI) [b]Radeon[/b] 7000 (low-profile, passive cool, VGA, S-Vid, Comp-Vid) 9200 (full-size, active-cool, VGA, S-Vid, DVI) All are AGP except for the MX4000, which is PCI. I've got two systems in the build process right now. #1 is my HD-HTPC with:[list]P4 2.8E on a MSI 865PE Neo2-PFISR (2x) 2x256MB GeIL PC3200 (2 sets in dual channel) Hauppauge PVR-250 DViCO Fusion5-Lite WD 40GB system disk Adaptec SCSI Card 29160 connected via LVD cable to Promise UltraTrak100 TX8 with 5x200GB in RAID-5 Thermaltake Silent PurePower 420W PSU[/list]#2 is my Sneaky-HTPC built into a hollowed-out Subwoofer, holding:[list]P4 2.8E on a Abit SG-72 1x512MB GeIL PC3200 Hauppauge PVR-250 Chaintech 7.1 Sound card (for optical & S/PDIF) WD 20GB system disk Maxtor 250GB for local recordings [url=http://www.fsp-group.com.tw/retail_product/silentsolutionkit.asp]FSP Silent Solution Kit[/url] for power and cooling[/list] Both are...should be...able to trade information over my network as I wired the whole house with CAT5 when it was being built, so movies, pictures and music are on the RAID. I don't have a HD television or projector (yet, but coming soon) and I'm fine with just using the S-Video though I suspect I'll need to use the DVI once I go HD, right? So, will any of the cards suffice and I could go with the two passively cooled ones for minimum noise, or will I need some greater horsepower down the road? [/QUOTE]
