Help with min. requirement for 16:9 plasma

Hello,
I've searched the forums and didn't really find what I needed.. I just found this site (through seeing the Tank of Big Brother) and love it.

I have several TVs around my home including a 42" plasma. All the TV's are current models with super video connects and several composite connects (one has DVI) .. All the TVs are the 16:9 ratio so I would be running the widescreen version of the program.

I want to setup the fish on each TV with a dedicated computer and have them running on the computers all the time. Then you could just click input 3 or aux 3 for the fish.

My question is this.. What are the min. requirements that I should look for in a computer to run the program without any loss of quality or performance?

I guess I need to know:

1. Min. cpu speed without affecting performance.
2. Some good inexpensive graphic card options and min. card RAM
3. Min. Ram for the CPU
4. Best way to connect CPU to TV ...

I know this is going to be a little overkill so I'm trying to keep the cost of the deticated computers down but don't want to sacrific qaulity. I was figuring I could pickup some older used CPUs on ebay for $50 to $100 each to use.

Thanks

Ray
