Default Which HDCP Graphics card? Advice appreciated!

Hi All,

I need your advice to help me choose the correct graphics card. I am running a high def cinema based around a powerful Windows XP media center PC. It has an internal Pioneer BD-Rom with which I want to play Blu-ray discs out to the projector. I don't use the PC for gaming so it does not need to be high end as I am not bothered about cutting edge rendering etc. No fan or very quiet fan would be nice as I have spent a lot of time (and money) making the PC as silent as possible.

I built the PC inside a rather nice black Silverstone LC16M case but this causes a problem. The centrally mounted BD-ROM is directly in line with the PCIE graphics card slot. This only gives me a MAX card length of 190mm / 7.5 inches which is not a lot. Full length cards will not fit.

The card needs to have a dual head output as the PC is controlled by a touch screen LCD with VGA connector. Ideally it should have an HDMI connector for the projector but if not it must include a convertor as my loom is HDMI. It MUST be HDCP compliant, have at least 512MB onboard and be able to smoothly play back Blu-ray discs at up to 1080P.

Any help will be very gratefully received!
Many thanks, Boggie
