i rescued a complete emachines computer sans hard drive from the trash yesterday. Celeron D 2.4? ghz chip, 2 gb of memory, onboard vga and lan and audio. It has a pcie slot also. My current but loud htpc is in a huge case, atx board, and a c2d @ 2 ghz. I'm wanting to pull the radeon 4350 out of my htpc and put it in this celeron setup along with the tb hard drive. Think it will hold its own, or will it be stupidly slow? I watch blueray right now with my current htpc and it does fine as well as timeshift TV and listen to music with WMC.
The chip will overclock to around 2.8 ghz if that would make any difference. I really want to do this because of the much smaller form factor and much quieter fans.
