For a number of years now we have been looking at components which would make ideal HTPC/Media PC items. There was a phase when AMD (or ATI) was creating some decent cards under their All-In-Wonder brand which were ideal for outputting video to a TV. Then the same company began focusing on high definition builds, letting us know that their Radeon range could be combined with particular Athlon CPUs and mATX boards for a good Blu-Ray experience as that format was first introduced.
