Pulse-Eight USB - CEC adapter is a great little piece of hardware allowing you to take advantage of the whole HDMI CEC feature set depending on the TV you are using. Conveniently the driver called libcec is open source and published on GitHub. That adapter had been working great for me until I upgraded my GPU from an NVidia GTX 750ti...

I am going to build a HTPC to replace my vcr, stereo and old "internet" computer. Now I am poundering the question if I can replace my digital cable box as well. What do you think? Is it worth it? Will the picture be too lousy with a "digital TV cable" card?

For my parents, I'd like to create a HTPC system. They have some space on the place where the videorecorder sits now, which is about 41cm in width and 50cm in length. Furthermore, the HTPC needs to connect to a decoder and needs a wireless lan card to connect to the internet. My question is: what case should I buy? Most mATX cases...
