Abstract
Assembling the components of an HTPC is a real art form. Selecting the perfect video card or finding the best sound card for the system can make it perform better, improve the picture quality, or boost the realism of the audio track, all of which can make the home theater more like a movie theater. HTPC hobbyists spend a lot of time deciding what hardware to use, finding out where it is available, and configuring it for optimum performance. However, after all this work, the project is still only half done.
