Internet streaming is on the $150+ end of blue ray players. like this guy for $200 Newegg.com - Sony 3D Blu-ray Disc Player BDP-S470 - Blu-Ray Players

Nvidia just released the new line of video cards the 4series so all the prices on older cards have came down and your Gx520 has a pci-e slot so it should be good to go with a low power video card.
Here's a Ati 5670 for $74 (after $10mir) Newegg.com - HIS H567Q512 Radeon HD 5670 (Redwood) IceQ 512MB 128-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card - Desktop Graphics / Video Cards

that will be more than enough to stream vid to a tv and with only a 61w max power draw it will be fine with the Gx520's measly power supply
Good point. Does anyone make a similar video card that has a composite, or better yet, an S-Video output? My existing TV only has S-Video.
