I would appreciate opinions on or reports of actual experience with any of the above, before I buy parts! :-)<br>

There was some conflict between the nvidia drivers and the air2pc such that the MB would not boot all the time. Using envyng to install the drivers fixed the problem. I have always wanted to compare power draw of the air2pc cards to the HDHR that I have to see the payback time for the HDHR. If I had it to do over again, I would get 2 HDHRs instead. Would have saved me many hours of frustration.</span></div>
