Does this sounds like a good HTPC system?

[QUOTE="sri, post: 39435, member: 17659"] If you're planning on using the HTPC on a tv i would recommend an ATI-card. Then you can solder a VGA-to-scartRGB cable and get an awesome picture out from the ATI card. I think only ATI (maybe Matrox, definately not NVidia) support this because ATI has hsync and vsync on the same pin (at least i think that was the difference). I use this configuration myself and using this i have no problems reading text and stuff on the tv in windows etc, like icons and such.. I could never do that (not this good at least) using SVideo or Component outputs. It's not good merely for reading text but the picture while watching movies is awesome. When looking on a HDTV-rip, the picture is sometimes better than my stationary dvd. Haven't watched a DVD through MP though because i have no dvd in my HTPC.. [/QUOTE]
