Hi all, wonder if someone can advise me please 
Currently have a Popcorn Hour A110 for movie duties but also have a P4 & MATX Mobo (with 1GB Mem) sitting in a drawer doing nothing. I think I'd like the flexibility of a full HTPC (using Win7 or similar) to go with my shiny new 46"/50" TV (have yet to decide which). Was going to go for the Asrock Ion Nettop but have seen the Antec Micro Fusion Remote VERIS Media Center Case - With 350W PSU and Media Remote Control for a good price so it's tempting.
Now I know the cpu (with integrated Intel gfx) won't be enough to power 1080p, but will adding a half-decent gfx card like the Gigabyte 4350 be enough to power me along when watching FullHD movies (say via MPC-HC)?
Am guessing it will be am just after confirmation really.
cheers
Si
