[QUOTE="snewman, post: 85217, member: 18208"] To throw in my two cents: I've built a HTPC around the Asus 430/6150 motherboard, and it works great except for HD DVB-T broadcasts (MPEG-2). In my opinion (after a lot of fiddling about) this onboard video is just not quite up to HD. I know the nVidia website shows that the 6150 supports some of the HD features of PureVideo, but in practice it just seems to struggle to keep up. Maybe the MSI motherboard will perform a little better than the ASUS (it also has a better name if you look at the Anandtech forum) but I'm just not sure it can cut it. If you're not fussed about HD then in all other respects the motherboard is great - I've never had any system hangs or blue screens in nearly 12 months of use, and it stays on for days or even weeks at a time.
