You talking about the post-lease desktop? I'd avoid using it. WinXP is far inferior to 7 in media playback. I believe it just has an older Intel GMA graphics. No HDMI/DVI, just analog VGA output. You'd be far better off spending $160 and getting a newer system, with full graphics capability, on newer silicon.

you can get a video card for under 20 bucks from the same source. I'm using a computer simular to this as a client with no problems (3+ years).

I understand it will work, but in my experience, I used XP for years as well. That said, EVR on Win7 is far superior than VMR in windows XP. The 1GB of RAM is also far too limiting for my use case (heavy fanart use). Of that list of items, I'd MUCH rather spend the extra $50 for the dell below it, with twice the processor, twice the RAM, twice the HDD, and windows 7.

That lenovo also only has PCI slots - so good luck getting a decent enough video card for it.
