Can someone also advise if the GeForce 7300 is okay to play HD movies? I"ll connect it with a HD Projector.
I leave my MacPro on a few days at a time and not only is it completely quiet, it generates very little heat, if any at all. I walk into the room and you'd never know a computer was running. But the DVD drive is freakin loud.

Where will you be aquiring your HD footage? Bit-Torrent, Apple store? The 7300 works great for me but the only HD footage I've watched is the 1080p content from Apples website. But plays flawless.
