Plays Blu-rays for $60

[homebrewer]

Would this be a good card for a back-up machine that would be used for responding to emails and a little simming when and if my primary machine ever goes down? I'm thinking it might, because a Blu-ray has 4X the data as a DVD. For just 60 clams, is it worth a shot?

Don't forget you still need a BluRay player, any plain old DVD ROM won't play them  ;)

If the computer is fast enough (2.5ghz dual core) any card will do. However if it's nothing top spec then you need a videocard with VC-1 acceleration. Checkout the ATI 2600 Pro.
