    To start off, I have 186 gigs of music, and its on a file server, so adding that library for the first time, was well exhausting. I used Mp3 tag to tag and embed album art and properly organize everything. Of course iTunes doesn't care about CD compilations like the Fifth Element Soundtrack...

Ill just pick up a BD-ROM drive and this card, and have a decent system for all that shit that Hulu is disallowing us to watch on Boxee or other like systems.

    Coverting an Optiplex into an HTPC

    Clock speed is not an issue, even the most minimal 4000 or 5000 series card will suffice, for ati, not sure what nvidia equiv. is. The problem is 5000 series cards suggest 400 wats and 4000 series cards suggest 300. If you read the spec sheet of the Optiplex, it is 280 watts.
