Honestly, my next build I am going to get a $200 nettop (ION2). My GT430 is great for the home theater... and is great for future-proof. But I am going to run OpenELEC on a nettop for my second room/bedroom/kitchen.

^^ What about a Sempron 140? Low power, and it's more powerful than an Atom chip. Plus, you can unlock the 2nd core if you need the extra juice.

This setup is not eating 1080 for breakfast.........
Windows 7 64 bit updated to service pack 1
drivers all updated
files on a usb 2.0 tb drive .... like i said when hooked to my nice laptop play fine
Using a DVI cable and audio port on the front to play video
Playing with latest version of VLC
processor seems to weak getting a 3.8 rating in windows
does this need to be over clocked to get flawless 1080p playback
glitch and audio syncs tried with 6 different files
TXT with files....
