Rosewill Windows Vista Certified Media center Infrared Remote Control RRC-126 320243ECS G41T-M2 Gold (V1.0) LGA 775 Intel G41 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail Price After Mail-In Rebate(s): $65.98
I see Newegg give out these remote like cookies with motherboard, other boards available too!
for software encoding i found that a core 2 duo @ 2.4 to 2.8ghz (depending on fsb) is sufficient to render the video - audio is digital out no downmix since you have a decent home theatre.
if you have gpu acceleration you could knock that down a bit but i'd err on the side of having too much power. you could do a 1333fsb pentium dual core bump it up to 2.8ghz and be cool.
does that remote come with the IR receiver and ir blasters?
intel gma4500 video, which i believe does not have much, if any, gpu acceleration capability... and intel video drivers are notoriously buggy.
run, don't walk, away from this deal.

DVI out is good enough. No digital audio out though.

What is the state of Linux/BSD drivers for this? Buggy? Quick? Source code?
Likewise, how good is the Linux/BSD support for the included remotes + receivers?
In a related question, anybody know of good inexpensive HTPC/mobos/graphics cards which will do component out?
