I'm looking for a cheap out-of-the-box computer that will a) record HDTV and b) output 1080p and 5.1 sound to my home theater system and projector. I currently use HDMI exclusively, so HDMI would be great, but if there's another method I should consider to get HD output and 5.1 sound out of this...
