[QUOTE="user 997, post: 352739, member: 997"] I am looking at the same setup as you are. I got a Gigabyte Nvidia GT610 card which comes supplied with a LP bracket and it has a HDMI port. GPU usage is very low and the HD decoding can be done by the GPU. I think the GT610 has a TDP of 45W so it definitely won't stretch the 150W PSU too much. I'm using the 250GB drive to load the operating system. If you want to lower this you could consider adding a 64GB SSD. If your NAS is inactive, the NAS OS can park the disk heads saving you power. I currently only have 1x2TB drive for storage purposes, but I want to expand this to 2x2TB. I'll probably buy Western Digital Red drives. I currently have 4 of them running in my business NAS, had one failure so far, but the replacement drive seems solid. [/QUOTE]
