Youll be struggling I think to find something that compacted. Even the new nvidia nforce 410 doesnt sport that many features. You might have to compromise.The nforce 410 has a geforce 6150 onboard and could do what you want it to do if:1) Provides integrated s-video TV-out <- get a DVI -> Svideo/Component adapter2) Provides SPDIF out (to allow external decode of 5.1 soundtracks) <- expansion slot so make it just hang out the back3) Provides enough processing power to run audio/video functions (games support not required) <- Its 939 socket so a 3000+ will be about as cheap as it gets and they are really cheap.3) Runs cool enough not to overheat in the small case. <- depends on the case's cooling4) Ideally is cheap - leading edge technology (latest CPUs etc.) may not be required to achieve my goals <- being new it probably wont be
