Just a quick recommendation for any of you guys considering a HTPC build as i have just recently finished mine.

Its the MSI Media Live DIVA 5.1

This motherboard has a great spec and is geared for the HTPC market with..........wait for it..........a built in amp that is more that capable of running my 5.1 passive surround sound system

Full details are here MSI Computer Corp. - Product



There is also a 7.1 pre amp option available if you prefer

The only down side its that its not available in Europe as yet so you will need to order it from the states at a cost of around £130 inc P&P and unfortunately i was stung on import duty to the tune of £32 by customs
