Does anyone know if a computer based these 2 components is fast enough to play divx? I'm thinking of building a standalone player. The Ezra can be either 700mhz or 933mhz and the Rage 128 has 32mb ram and is the cheapest card I can find with a tv-out. Any help would be much appreciated :-)

Hi Why don't you check out a low speed celeron/pent 3, these run very cool and you may be able to get with passive cooling (zolman flower cooler or something like that)or a very slow quite fan, a 1 ghz should do nicely.
Also read this review: - they specifically look at the system's suitability for DVD and mpeg4 playback (also read the link at the top for more information on related VIA systems). The onboard video has DVD/mpeg2 hardware acceleration and apparently compensates for the relative weakness of the CPU. This is not a fanless system, though.
