ASUS M2NPV-VM - I built one last year. I see NewEgg doesn't list 'em
anymore but it fits your bill. Perhaps google can find one for you.
It's a AM2 MicroATX
Comes with a HD/TV/S-video module - a cardslot panel with the
interface plugs that connects to pins on the board.
* Buy the S/PDIF module that goes with it - it's a cardslot panel for
the back which has the required interface and connects to pins on the
motherboard.
L+R Audio on the backplane
integrated 6150 will run XvMC (but that may be irrelevant if your hd
content isn't mpeg-2 encoded - XvMC won't help h.264 or mpeg-4)
I got one, but I don't use the S/PDIF so I can't testify to that. All
the other bits I use. I'm not clear if it will drive s-video and dvi
with separate signals, or at the same time, as I only ever had one or
the other hooked up at one time (so I woudn't know if the other was
on).
