PC to HD TV
The computer I will use is a server but just a core 2.
Looking for a cheap HDMI card to install and connect to the tv. The TV has many extra HDMI ports. Only want to put the sound/video from my PC to the TV in HD. My PC monitor is nice but I would rather use the TV remote to switch from watching the computer to the TV ![]() It would be nice to center my sound system off the TV instead of having a seperate one for the computer. If there other options I have a wireless/hub/blueRay/DirectTv (Not the DVR) Basically I just want my HD TV to replace my monitor and sound. Last edited by bob; 05-28-2012 at 05:48 AM. |

What are the rest of the specs on the server? Motherboard and power supply are what's important. Name brand or custom? OS?

Yikes - that thing doesn't have a PCI-Ex16 slot - it's got standard PCI and a PCI-Ex1. It's got some kind of proprietary slot for a DVI adapter.
If it's a microtower, it has a 300 watt PSU and full height slots. If it's a SFF, it has a 240 watt PSU and half height slots. These will fit in either type: Newegg.com - ZOTAC ZT-50608-10L GeForce GT 520 (Fermi) 512MB 64-bit DDR3 PCI Express x1 HDCP Ready Low Profile Ready Video Card Newegg.com - PowerColor Go! Green AE5450 512MD2-SH Radeon HD 5450 512MB 64-bit DDR2 PCI Express x1 HDCP Ready Low Profile Ready Video Card The GT520 supposedly requires a 300 watt PSU - if you have the SFF I'd get the Radeon. |
