My Homemade Blu-ray/DVD/Media/Misc Flexible Player...(from mainly used/old components) PART 2

It finally arrived, the ASUS GT220 1GB DDR3 low profile card.















It came with both a full size bracket and also a low profile bracket. The low profile bracket occupies 2 slots. The heat sink was pretty huge too. Next put it into the motherboard.





























Good clearance and also the chassis has ventilation slots on this side. Air flow to keep the whole unit cool is not an issue... GREAT!!!!

The finished piece....





























Finally the hardware portion is done... the next chapter would be the software... here is what I planned... base OS is Windows 7 Ultimate therefore will run Media Center. For Blu-ray playback will use Cyberlink PowerDVD. Just need to know if the remote works in PowerDVD and whether if I can run PowerDVD from within Media Center.

Stay tuned....
