Hi All,

I have the HP Proliant Gen8 and I was wanting to run Kodi on it and use it as a media center.
I'm told I need a GPU for it, and I was wondering if anyone can suggest a small GPU that'll fit in and ideally not cost a bomb

I'll mainly be watching dvds through it, on a 1080p screen.

Thanks,
 
hmm,
I tried a KodiBuntu install last night and it complained that it needed hardware accelerated Opengl and to refer to the hardware guide.
I had a quick google and people were talking about GPU driver updates, so I assumed I needed one.
Maybe the distro I was using was not right?

I'm not the best with all things linux :/
 
Alright, I'll give that a go.
My Linux experience is Debian or Ubuntu, so I saw the KodiBuntu and went with that :p

I'm just messing around right now as I've not got drives yet so don't have much to do, was just hoping to set it all up.
 
I tried the generic Openelec and it complained about hardware compatibility again.
I've gone the long route now and have Ubuntu on it and I'll put kodi on top and see how that goes.

Drives still aren't here, so I've got lots of time to fiddle around with it :p
