I am looking to see if the attached link would be a decent client pc. It seems small and quite, but not sure about its video card, I would be using it for HD playback mainly.

Alternatively should i just get a second PCH

Darn, that's a nice little box and cheap considering. I'd sure be concerned about HD playback with it though, especially since the video card can't be upgraded. Awesome form-factor.

there are several posts in the forum regarding the Intel GMA 950 chip. Might be worth reading before taking the plunge.

It looks really neat but my concern would be how it cools the cpu when it is under load. the only way I can see it doing this is with a small whiney fan.

Yes no HDMI but you could just use dvi to hdmi i assume, obviously this is not a perfect solution, but the form factor of this unit makes it intersting, yet diffucult to tell if its worth it as it is lacking some items
