why did u threw it? which card it was?

Just a thought/suggestion:
You should put the individual cost of each item because websites tend to change how much they cost and don't include shipping. Also, the overall price in the first post would be nice too.
Nice build.

if anyone else want to join the bandwagon, this one is a great deal- XFX HD-645X-ZQH2 Radeon HD 6450 1GB 64-bit DDR3 PCI Express 2.1 x16 HDCP Ready Low Profile Ready Video Card.
if i can sale my gt430 for $50, i have my eyese on this hd6570- SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 6570 1GB.
I am using a GT430 in my HTPC. Curious to hear why people are selling them off to use the Radeons... enlighten me, I have not be active on the forums in quite some time.

It drives many users in here crazy, and it drives my kids/wife crazy too. They keep points it to me, and say this to me everytime it happen- "dad, your HTPC is mess up". I used to be fine with it, but it's starting to get into my nerve too. I don't have any problem with my other two AMD GPU!

hi bmcclure937! long time no see
yeah the GT430 is still great!
but like already said, we were trying to find the cause
which made FF and RW functions in XBMC to display microblocking when in use..
bottom line, Nvidia GT210/GT430/GT520 all have this little issue when FF and RW.
is it a big deal? well, depends for who.
it started to get to me too in the end with my GT210...
my dog wouldn't stop to BARF when microblocking appeared on my screen...
Now i sold it, and bought a FanLess HD6450 for only $30!
so, this $30 card now not only gives me 3D playback if i'll ever need it,
but it also gives me HD-Audio passthrough!!
and specially, no more DOG barfing since im now microblocking-free!!
3 features that my $30 GT210 didnt have...

Availability of computer components seems to come and go in an instant here in the UK - I'm planning to finally start building a dedicated HTPC over the next 6 months or so, should I buy a 6450 now whilst I can definitely get it rather than waiting?

Fed up of putting together builds and then the components not being available when I try to buy them! So might do it bit by bit for now.
