One of my hobbies is perfecting and improving my home theatre PC. I've got about 7-800 bucks tied up in it, and made it mostly from spare parts. Recently I've gotten a bit more into it and put a new Mobo, and SSD in it. It's just a hobby but it's also super cool. I can access all my media (TV shows, Movies, Music, Concerts, Pictures, Whatever) from anywhere I have an internet connection or cell phone signal. There's a web client that works really well. Plus there's an app for my phone. Plus I have it set up on my TV in my living room. The coolest thing that I just figured out how to do is actually streaming live TV anywhere as well. Just curious if there's anyone else out there that's tinkering with this kinda stuff.

Howdy, I'm converting one of my old computers into a makeshift Home Theater PC and wondered if anyone has a setup already in place or follows the HTPC scene enough to recommend a cheap, dependable video card that can carry audio + video over HDMI and output in 1080p. The case it's going in is a mid-tower so low profile isn't a must. Also I would prefer the design to be fanless, but it isn't a requirement. My case fans will likely drowd out anything coming from the video card. Also this computer will not be used for gaming. It'll be connected to a 47" TV and used solely for the purpose of watching/listening/streaming media. Here's the build, and don't laugh, lol. Okay..you can laugh, I realize it's probably a bit overkill.
