Everything that works in Windows Vista, will work in Windows 7, they use the same driver model.
Standby options are also much better in Windows 7, Vista could be a little problematic on some PC's with standby options.

you can get passively cooled 9500gt's
if you're not using the machine for gaming then these are a cheaper option than the 9800 and will give equivalent quality HTPC playback. (all of the 9 series nvidias offer full decode of vc-1)
If you're gaming then there are 9600gt's with passive cooling also.

Hi Duggy
My understanding from reading previous posts is that the spec for a standalone TV Server does not need to be that high. The performance is normally needed for the client side, decoding MPEG-2 or H.264 data into pictures and sound. All a standalone server is doing is transferring the TV Streams (in the case of UK DVB-T...

Welcome,
1. I think the PC will upconvert them to whatever the monitor resolution is anyway.
2. With regards blu-ray you can convert them to MP4/MKV files, it saves a lot of space over ripping them to hard-drive and stripping out any features, check out the afterdawn forums, they have guides to do this and also to shrink them on...

With this hardware you can build regular HTPC with Media Portal, but without HD playback. For DVD/SD movies, music, pictures it's enough.
You need RAM, mobo, case and WinXP. The rest is to be downloaded.
Good luck
