Dude, I got a dell.. n' I wanna find some use for this comp. So i was thinking that I'd incorporate it into my home theater sys. and connect it to my home network and use it to watch divx movies, lite web surfing & email purposes and to blast mp3s on my home theater sys. Its got decent speed and memory and its good for watching movies and music.
However, its got no AGP Slot =( Only PCI. I got a TNT2 32 MB Card in there. I want a card that has TV-Out Capabilities. Any suggestions? I don't want to spend more than $25. I found this thru pricewatch http://liquidationetc.safeshopper.com/47/15402.htm?873 Creative is a trusted name, in my book. But, I don't have a DVD Drive in this pc. Will that matter? Do i have to do any messy bios or rewiring work? And I have a integrated sound card, will that matter?
Any suggestions would be most appreciated. Thanks all.
Mad props to y'all.

Check into ATI's TV WONDER line .I have the TV WONDER USB Edition . I use it everyday to have TV on my Desktop in a resizable box or full screen . I usally have the news on while I surf the net .It also have the Guide Plus system for recording T.V. Shows , it has other features I have'nt even used yet ! Good Luck ,Nick

I apoligize , after I posted my response to your ? , I realize you want to be able to veiw your desktop on a T.V. not the other way around .As the other reponse stated you can get a tV tuner card designed for just that ,In my case I installed a Graphics card with the T.V. out option . An ATI RADEON , however if you are already happy with your graphic's you can get the T.V. Tuner card for less$ then a graphic's card ! Once again Good Luck,Nick
