You don't need a supercomputer to have a video desktop. All you need is an AIW video card from ATI - with such a card you can watch TV without loosing any CPU performance. I had TV on my desktop even on a 166 MHz AMD K6...

Or any tv tuner really although the AIW does stand out for its driver integration. Another one that stands out is the ASUS tuners

Absolutely!
