Help with Media Center.

Post by cainhunpi »

Hey guys, I have a old pentium 4 pc laying around and I want to make it a Media PC for my leaving room.

The problem is that it does not have a HDMI output. What very cheap video card can I use for it. I am just going to watch some 720p video and I need a HDMI out. It has to be Low Profile.

Any other solutions than buying a video card?

I was looking into this one. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6814125251

I have 2 PCI and one PCI express x16 Slot open on the PC.


Thanks :geek:

Well you can use an xbox connect it via cat5/6 to your computer, then use media centre on your xbox to stream video's.

You can also do it wirelessly, but if your computer is in the same room there isnt really a need for wireless.
