Hey guys

im sort of a newbie to this..
I was thinking of purchasing this http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-000-ZT

for my htpc.. the thing is, i might be looking to build some sort of mid-end htpc..

can I rely on the onboard hdmi graphics to output a beautiful 1080p? also i will want to add a soundcard asus D2 HDAV and a good TV tuner, the only problem is that this only have 1pci slot...

what should i do? also.. any good recommendation for best tv tuner card?

Thanks

Oh thanks buddy.
erm.. Im going to trust you and go ahead with the onboard graphics.. i have an onkyo 905..it's an AV receiver, rvery powerful not sure if you're familiar with those.. i take it if i connect it to my htpc i won't really need a powerfull card?

as of tv tuner i have ntl and satellite.. is it any need for a quad tv tuner?
