G4s can play 720p at the high end, but I wouldn't play 1080p on anything

Super. I'm still using a Phenom II X6 desktop for HTPC duty, but using 400W

(still plays DVDs and physical media in a standalone player).

Thanks. I'll probably just wind up building a PC HTPC because I want
to be able to rip Blu-rays, but I could always use a G4 for my tiny
bedroom TV.
