    My budget is $300 max, and preferably less.

    I know I will not get high performance on such a budget.  I am doing this more for the fun of it and the learning experience.  Eventually I may turn it into a Linux box.

    I just want to know what to expect and what the limitations are.  Would I be better off ditching the onboard video and getting a cheap graphics card?  My understanding is the onboard shares buss and memory and the external card does not, but for basic streaming and maybe a TV card it may be overkill.
