If you want full HD then you'll need a better graphics card than that. Those ones have component and DVI support. | |

You don't need to at all, just get a blu-ray reader surely? | |

why would you need to rip it to an AVI? | |

well first you need to learn how to rip and encode blueray movies to avi, which depending on the resolution you want may take upto 24 hours per film. i tried with HD DVD and it took 27 hours to do a 1h30m movie which then didnt turn out that good. | |

I can't think what else is needed other than a supported blueray media player and as you said a few large hardrives. Choosing the TV as an output rather than a monitor. TV should be HD compatible and maybe a decent HD graphics card. | |
