Nice cheap system indeed. id like a passive cooler on the CPU, even to underclock and undervolt it. wonder is that possible?
2ghz would probably be more than enough for bluray playback.
I love passive video cards, dont think this one is really for gamers, but more for acceleraing video and stuff and being quiet. I like this system more than some of the high end things you review. , all about the green environm,ent too.
Nice, cheap setup and more than enough for most people. You could also replace that 6450 with something more powerful, although it would be noisier obviously
