Looks good. Just add a modern Nvidia card (say a Geforce 210) and you are set!

I have been using one of these in my system. It's passive cooled and runs everything I've thrown at it perfectly without getting too hot and I've only got a CPU fan and a rear 80mm fan in my case. It does take up two pci slots though.

Poofyhairguy I order the card and recieved the item installed it in my system. I was wondering if you somebody could give me some advice. I'm currently running on the hp system windows 7 64bit. I have updated all of the drivers with the latest windows 7 updates. The problem I'm having is when I'm connected to the network I have an e drive I'm sharing on my current cpu system. Which also has windows 7 64 bit I have the e drive shared for everyone. I can access the files on the edrive with my hp system and I can even click on file to load and actually play the file. the problem I'm having is the video will play sometimes for a few minutes and completly lock up I know its the video locking up because if Press ctrl-alt-delete it will say that xbmc is not responding. I would like to know if the problem could be related to my cpu I though I had 4 gb in my system I only have 1.5gb with a 320gb harddrive or could it be a setting on my windows 7 system. Any help would be greatly apperciated thank you
