Saw this on eBay for buy it now + ship $269.90. Seems like it would be
cheaper than building up an amd/intel box from scratch? 2 PCI + 1 AGP, so I
could add a cheap geforce 6 AGP w/ DVI out my TV plus a PCI sound card for
SPDIF out if the motherboard's outputs don't work. Should be a complete
front end for under $350.
But is P4 2.8GHz / 256MB ram enough for good HD? If so is it safe to drop
down to the 2.6G / 2.4G/ 2.2/ 2.0/ etc...?
Also I've never used this particular box but most dell SFF's are pretty
quiet, yes/no?
Thanks,
