Thanks for the reply. Sounds like a plan. I really like these A10 APU's for the half decent integrated GPU since I want to do some gaming. Doesn't seem like there is as compelling an equivalent in Intel-land.
I was wondering, Dougie - can I get the E-i7 case with IR that will work with the MSI board? I have a Harmony One.
And while I'm at it asking endless questions, any idea how well these PCIe to MiniPCI adapters work (would be running Windows on this box): http://goo.gl/jN7GE
I have a Popcorn Hour C-200 with the MiniPCI MN-200 card (Ralink chipset I believe) installed, that I would like to try and repurpose into the new HTPC. It uses three external antennas - I suppose I would have to drill some holes for those. Worst case, I'll go powerline Ethernet - just trying to save where I can though.
Update: I've just realised I might be on a fools errand with the wireless idea above. The MN-200 card requires a MII MiniPCI interface (larger) and I don't see any PCIe Adapters for that.
