I am building file server/HTPC rig and the only thing i am missing is a PCIe Graphics card.
the specs are as follows
AMD Athlon X2 3800+ 2Ghz dual core
2.5GB DDR1 400Mhz
ASUS A8N-LA (OEM HP/Compaq)
3x500GB SATA 2.0 (storage)
750Gb IDE (OS drive)
cheap Blue Ray drive
Starpower 450 Watt PSU(i know its crap but it was free)
OEM Emachines Case+ high end 92MM fan
now with those specs i don't want to spend an arm and a leg for a cheap card that can handle simple games like halo 1 or maybe halo 2.
I was looking at these ones but i just don't have much faith in ATI/AMD anymore (current card has driver issues) And I'll be honest i really don't know much about nVidia driers since i haven't used them since December.
