It's far from cheap, but the Asus
P5E-VM<http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131237>has
G35 graphics, HDMI *and* VGA out,  as well as Firewire and digital
audio
out.  It's too pricey for a frontend only, 1080i MPEG-2 only system, but it
is the ideal foundation for a 1080p h.264 capable beast of a
frontend/backend system.
