most gigabyte z68 boards come with virtu which allows you to use a discreet graphics card and use intergrated graphics for Quick sync and even allows for on the fly switching with monitor being plugged into only one (either into mobo hdmi or discreet card)

i would go with the quad because the cost isn't a big factor between the 2 and the quads are going to be utilized more in the future and any kind of video editing or converting the quads perform better, and with high def soon to be the standard video files are going to be larger than ever

Well personally i would recommend a board that uses ddr 2 memory, the asus blitz formula is what i got about a month ago and it's great , probably hard to get now so i would probably get a gigabyte or an asus p35 board with ddr 2 memory. the ddr 3 memory is ALOT more exspensive and not really...

leave it on,if you are going to use the DVR functionality of it then if you turn it off it will not record the programs scheduled,most people when building a HTPC keep this in mind and usually go for cooler and quieter parts, and for a HTPC you don't really need an overclocked processor or...

well if you run xp and are not concearned with dx 10 then i would suggest the 7900 gs i know it performs well because i had the evga version and i loved it

well i would go with the q6600 for a processor and as for a motherboard just make sure to choose one where the sata plugs plug straight in ,not pluging in from the side of the board i have that same case and my asus blitz edition board has the sata ports at the very edge of the board pluging in...
