HTPC - home theater PC which has multi-media function for multi-use at home.
1. it should has multi-media ports, such as HDMI, DVI, S/PDIF Out etc.
-- right now, many people choose ADM 780G chipset motherboard with very good on-board video card, ATI HD 3200
2. don't need to install additional video card, if really want it, please choose low-profile video card from ATI or nVidia (such as 9600GT)
3. small case is not very necessary, because small cases have very limited power supply and cooling spaces.
4. newest CPUs have lower power consume (below 65w), so use these CPUs are okay, just choose lower-prices one with Virtualization Technology (one common question is Which Intel CPUs Support XP Mode Virtualization?, AMD processor?)
Basic things about CPU, buying guide.
