Looks like a nice piece, I've seen from avsforum that most guys 
recommend just getting a better video card with component out, which may 
actually be cheaper, since I can get an nVidia 6200 card with 
HDTV/component out for $110 CDN, versus $120US for the Crescendo card. I 
just have to make sure my mobo has a PCI Express port on it...

Thanks
Tom
