Just wanted to close the loop on this thread.  While transcoding support is road-mapped for future versions of XBMC, some folks over on the OpenELEC forums have produced a Plex Media Server addon.

I have been using it for a few months now and it works great.

I put the card into chassis.  The PC did not even post when I booted the machine with the new card in.  It may be possible that I just got a bad card.  I will do more testing and provide a status update.

The EVGA 210 arrived today.  I was very excited to install it, and then I ran into a small road bump.  The EVGA requires a 300 W power supply and 18 A on the +12 rail.  My power supply was only 250 W and 17 A on the +12 rail.

Unfortunately, the HIS Radeon 5570 requires even more power, 400 W.

Any suggestions with regards to these lower power requirements?

A friend said he has had good experiences with EVGA adapters.  It appears that EVGA produces a GeForce 210 that could meet my requirements.  Has anyone heard anything good, bad or otherwise about this adapter?
