It could work as a backend-only system perhaps. Just make sure any
pci cards you get will work with either 5v or 3.3v.
I thought that XvMC was hardware acceleration? At least, I think
that's the closest to it that the nvidia cards have, and is most
likely what they are advertising as hardware acceleration anyways.
(hmmm... I guess that might be the difference between hardware
acceleration and hardware decoding.) Anyways, I think XvMC allows at
least some of the decoding to be done on the card, rather than by the
CPU.
