My biggest quandary is how to get the signal to the TV. I assume I need some sort of HDMI out card, but it can't be PCI-E, because that's what the Hauppauge will use. Is it as simple as that - just getting a PCI HDMI card?
The Hauppauge, from what I can tell, is dual input only, no out.
The TV has USB, Ethernet, HDMI and component inputs.
The Onkyo has the inputs that I suspect really matter most - RCA style coax in, optical and analog audio, components, hdmi, etc.
The MSI MB has onboard video, but only VGA out.
HTPC Parts:
Hauppauge WinTV-HVR 2250 w/ remote
MSI G31TM-P21 LGA 775 MB (no HDMI or DVI out)
4 gigs of DDR 800
Pentium D 820 2.8ghz processor
Silverstone case
2.5TB WD green drive
TV is a Mitsubishi WD60738
AV receiver is Onkyo TX-NR708
