Component out on a motherboard?

So, I have given up Comcast and am in the middle of an HTPC build. I want to do this without having to pick up a new video card because I won't be playing games on it and modern onboard graphics can handle HD content. The telltale sign that a chipset can handle HD content is its inclusion of an HDMI connector on the device. Unfortunately I never checked to see whether any of these mobos will output component, which I would like. So, to my chagrin, I discover, none of the ones I looked at seem to do so.

Do any mobos do this? HDMI is nice and all, but my 360 is component only and I was really looking forward to never having to change inputs on my TV.

TIA!
