I'm looking to build my first rig. I want HDMI audio/video and I want
to be able to play high-bitrate H.264 movies. I plan on hooking this
up to a 42-inch Panasonic Plasma TV.
I'd really appreciate any extra eyes to give feedback on what I've
listed, below, particularly because I've never built a PC before and
may have missed something obvious. I plan on installing MythDora and
find out just how easy it is :)
