Too pricey for most, if not all of us, but could you imagine running emulators off this puppy?

Absolutely silent. Once I get my laptop, I think this puppy will move into the living room and be my media system.

I wish video cards with HDMI would start becoming more common and inexpensive.
I'm running Component out on mine and it's not nearly as good as it cool be.

I just plan on buying an old top loader VCR and building my htpc/emu box into it. May even take a dvdrom apart so it will become toploading. If you can build a super computer for about $1500, I can sure enough build an awesome htpc for less. Granted I would want a Fatality sound card and enough front USB ports to kill a horse. Hdmi out would be nice too, but I can live with DVI (this is what the dvi to hdmi cable is for).
Gaming pc first, one that can handle emulating both Dreamcast Gauntlet Legends and PS2 Gauntlet Dark Legacy on atleast two monitors...

DVI - HDMI cables
In fact, my TV only has DVI.

I tried a DVI-HDMI cable and it didn't work.
Also, you may need a separate cable for sound if you not plugging you sound card directly into speakers as DVI is video only.
HDMI is the perfect all-in-one solution.
