<div><br>That motherboard has DVI out.</div>

<div>You don't care about the crappy upscaling in a HTIB, most TVs have a far superior upscaler in them.</div>

<div>I recommend getting or making a spdif bracket for the motherboard and running coax to your receiver and DVI (or HDMI via a converter attachment) and moving along.</div>
