My current HTPC system use the motherboard integrated graphic Geforce 8200 chipset. In the future I may upgrade it to a low profile video card. I’m looking at this Sparkle GeForce 9600/9800GT low profile 512MB GDDR3 with HDMI output. With this graphic card, I could watch my Blu-ray movies like butter I guess or play some games.

Another storage upgrade would be a Seagate 7200.12 1TB (2 platters). I just filled up my 500GB with over 70 DVD quality movies in it and still have 150GB left for few more. I haven’t got any kind hard drive over 1TB yet cause they are so freaking slow, Right now, there are firmware problems with the previous Seagate 7200.11 1TB and 1.5TB drive, I wouldn’t buy any of those drives and so much hassle with upgrade firmware.
