Nice little setup, wondered how the gpu fitted in there, just checked your build log!

nice setup.
althou curious y you chose to add in a GPU when you got an ION board, seems abit of a waste to get an ION and not actually use it

Mainly because after I'd got the board I realised that I couldn't connect it to my rather old crt telly ... the card's got an S video out .

What are you using as your media player front end?

How does this cope with full hd 1080 video, both from the hdd and streaming?

I'm using XBMC . I don't have a HD TV ( yet ) but it seems to play full 1080p files happily enough to my monitor .
