That case is VERY nice -- I think I might just have to do that. I have a trade in the works for a mATX board so I don't need that one, though it does look quite good. The one I'm getting has three PCI slots, which is what I need.

The reason I was considering TV Out was so I could run the system off of the TV, since it won't be connected by cable to my network (still looking for wireless solutions). If I had to do a switch, instead of moving the computer over to my network room, I could just use the TV as the monitor. I already have the Hollywood+ so that's definitely going into the computer.

Thanks!

lo again ;)

I tried my GForce 2 MX on a TV only system last week.
It was great for watching DivX/SMR movies and spectating/playing quake3 but browsing was a no go.
Also the picture quality was nothing compared to what ur Hollywood+'s TVout would be like with DVD's.
When browsing u cant read anything unless u have eyesight of a 5 year old ;) heh, im 28 so got no chance.

Ive now resorted to having a monitor linked up for browsing and use the TV for games etc.

rockhard ;)
