Gaming Laptop & "modest" HTPC or Uber Gaming Desktop Rig???

Check exactly how the HD out works - there won't be the correct sockets literally on the motherboard. Description states that a 'module' is bundled which you need to use - this will plug into something on the mobo (possibly the DVI? maybe one of the PCI slots?) and so might use up a socket that you are hoping to use for something else.

This is the actual HD card that comes with the motherboard...

Not really sure which sort of slot it might take but as long as I have a space PCI slot for a soundcard I dont think it will be a big deal tbh.

looks like it'll plug into mobo, so all it'll be taking up is 1backpanel slot of the case, cant see you jamming a HTPC full of expansion cards really so its no bother?
