Excellent.  When I replace my desktop, it'll get a video card with HDMI out and that'll be that.

Now, on the the subwoofer.

You don't need an ipad for apple TV.. or you can get a rokou...  both are so small, its easier to have...

I just built a dedicated HTPC for about $300 including windows OS.  I bought this video card, and it works fine for streaming video via XBMC.  I think the card was about 30 bux.

A follow up on the card I recommended.  Don't bother, it seems too slow and the passive heatsink doesn't seem to do a real good job.  I'm thinking of trying a different one.
