I've been thinking about buying one of the MSI-6150(K8NGM2-FID) integrated boards. I'm sort of mosying into the HTPC world one piece at a time. Originally I was just going to buy an MCE machine, but too many things are changing right now and will over 06 so I think I'll just creep into the HTPC world a bit at a time using some old junk I have laying around and knowing full well that I'll have to update later. Mostly getting tired of waiting and envious of friends setups even though what I've got is still pretty good. Besides, I want a new toy to play with, and I've earned it(Take that WBMW). All I need right now is soemthing rather basic with lots of storage that I can start loading up with DVDs and CDs. We already subscribe to netflix so creating a library will be easy and getting rid of all those previews and warnings would be nice besides getting rid of the CD/DVD clutter in the family room.

Having MPEG-4 through a driver update would be great even though I don't need 1080P just yet. One of the nice things about the 6150s is that you can upgrade by adding a GPU later, if needed, hopefully at a lower price than today.
