i think i'm going to scrap the HDTV idea. from what i've read, unless i'm really adament about it, then its not even worth it. and i dont even think that a 19" monitor has the resolution to fully take advantage of the resolution of HDTV.
additionally, i'm going to wait a month or so. AMD just announced that they are cutting prices of their processors, and additionally it looks like the price of video cards is going to drop a good amount over the next month/month and a half. so i figure that i can save a little money with the components i've got chosen, or even upgrade to something different (3500+) maybe.
and as far as shuttle goes, i really am not impressed with the MB's they've got. i'm not a huge fan of their AMD offerings. the ONLY case i'd really concider is the SN25P, and i'm NOT going to spend over $400 for a case, PS, and a meager MB with only one PCI-E x16 slot and only one PCI-E x1 slot. i quickly eliminated them from my list of choices.
