Is there a way to add a TV tuner card to the Vizio all-in-one?
What about the HP H8. Seems like a really good deal…how decent is that graphics card? That i7 is $300 alone on newegg.com

Im looking at that one too…I do a lot of 3D modeling and rendering, and although its a little older card, its not bad…(not as good as a newer GeForce though).
Does anyone know if it is easy/possible to swap out video cards on HPs? I would imagine so, but I have never owned an HP so I just want to make sure they don’t do something to not allow modifications…
looks like that was a fairly decent computer. bummer that it sold it quickly.
the last HP refurb desktop i got on woot died 2 days ago. lasted about 3 years. hmmm. don’t think i’m gonna trust HP again. will hold out for a dell.
the visio looks pretty good, but for an all-in-one, i think i’d like to see Win 8 and a touchscreen

I have a story and long history with HP. All I will say is 4 laptops, 3 desktops, and 3 printers. Its a sad story

The Vizio has four USB ports, plug in an external tuner stick and you’ll have TV.
Also plenty of external Blu-ray drives out there too.
Currently using the HP Slimline. Solid computer if you need something for surfing the internet.
Essentially the same setup as that HP quad core over at Newegg for basically the same price… Just picked one up actually.

An HDHomerun from Silicon Dustwould pair well with this. The new HDHomerun Plus (HDTC4) even includes h.264 transcoding to better support mobile devices.
