I have a <a href="http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16856173007">zbox D525</a> that I really like and seems to work well for playing blu-ray disks. The only issue is that the next-gen ion graphics only supports feature set C and won't handle 3D.</div><div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; background-color:

I figure I'll just buy a <a href="http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814500262">GT 610</a>, plug it into the PCI slot, and not use the on-board video.</div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; " class="yui_3_7_2_17_1362772916393_67"><br></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; "
