I suggested the Optiplex 760 or better not the ugly plastic brick .. The
760 Core2Duo & PCI express half height, full height with riser, this
could defeat fitting any internal tuner.
The 8500GT is not a recommended videocard. The $60 GT210 would be
better.
Buying PCI or AGP GPU is a waste of money.
