Parts:

+ 1 optical drive +4 sata hd +2 pci tv tuners
This is replacing my always on computer that is connected to my 50" tv as a htpc.
It usually is running a VM running in the background so I can remote into the machine without disturbing whoever is watching.
My main question is, do you think I can just get by with the onboard graphics? If not, what card would you recommend?
Windows 7 Media Center was my previous media solution, but I did buy Windows 8 Pro with Media Center. I just never tested that out.
