I'm in the process of transitioning my desktop into an HTPC. I just got a new 785G mobo which outputs VGA, DVI, and HDMI. I also have CRT television set. I will be getting an HDTV eventually. What I'm wondering is if in the interim it would be worth anything to find an HDMI to component cable to hook up my computer now and test out the system. Has anyone tried this and what was the video/audio quality like? I plan to use this as a DVR (once I get a tuner card) and for watching movies and playing music. Or should all of this just wait until I can afford an HDTV and sound system?
