  ...but there is still an advantage to the HTPC, unless he can go all digital from a modded DVD player(or maybe a high end DVD transport, but I didn't see one listed in Rich's system) to his processor. The computer keeps the signal in the digital domain until the VGA out, avoiding resolution loss from extra A/D and D/A steps.

    Are you suggesting DVD players do D/A--> A/D--> D/A conversions?

    DVI is going to be the dominant medium of communication between source and display device.

      ...I don't think any of the players Rich listed have DVI outputs, nor do I know of any current models under 2k that have them either. I'd be happy to be informed if there are some...
