My learned-this-the-hard-way advice: while this is generally true, if |

you ever come across a 720 or 1080p video that doesn't use a |

hardware-accelerated codec, you would rather the HTPC not sound like |
| 8 |
it's about to launch itself into orbit doing software decoding. |

And if you're going to keep it in a cabinet, you would probably also |

rather said cabinet not catch fire (I had to cut holes in the back and |

mount fans). |
