I'd like to build a small HTPC (something along the lines of a Zotac / ASRock / Revo) on which to run X8MC as a fun project/experiment...
As an alternative to an Atom+Ion solution, I'm considering using a Broadcom Crystal HD mini-pci-e card to deliver the HD performance required.
I can't find a suitable small (mini-ITX ?) mainboard which has onboard graphics and HDMI as well as a suitable mini-pci-e slot aside from those already fitted with an Nvidia Ion (which somewhat defeats the point).
Do any of you know whether there is such a thing knocking around, and whether it can be done at a sensible price (under a hundred quid for the mainboard) ?
