There is no doubt most HTPC's are excellent for music and movies. I absolutely would not do without mine now. I just really love being able to do EVERYTHING in one box. TV, AVR and MCE box, its friggin nice. (I'm still just on SDTV). The idea of having to split that back up upsets me.

The DIY market share isn't exactly huge, so I try to rile up those that I can to fight the good fight in being able to continue DIY HTPC's into the digital future.
