I'm building a "DivX" set-top box. I would like to have 2 RCA tv-outs, or an RCA and a S-video. It won't have a monitor obviously, but it will have an LCD that uses RCA composite input, that's why I need two. I was wondering what mobos and TV-tuner cards have TV-out. So far I've found:

Cards:
Hauppage PVR-350 ($135.95)
KWORLD
ATi AIW VE ($59.00)

Mobos:
Asus A7N266 (with AGP expansion card) ($64)
MSI K7N2GM-L ($86)
Biostar M7NCG ($66)
VIA EPIA M1000 ($150.89-Barton=$85.89)

I am looking for a fairly cheap card, and it needs to be cool and quiet since it's a SFF box. Other stuff I'm using:

1GB Corsair XMS 2-2-2-5 1T 2700 ($186)
Barton 2500 Mobile (only 45w!) ($95)
Thermaltake Silentboost ($26)
MSI 48x24x48x16 ($46)
5.6" LCD ($99) from Parts Express
PW70-A DC-DC PSU ($54.95)
ITPS Regulator ($39) both from Mini-box
80GB WD SE ($70)

I need to know if the onboard video will work with only a TV, and if switching between the LCD and TV would be a very good option, so I don't need an extra card. Also, a front-loading or trayless DVD or DVD/CD-RW or a slimline one would be cool. If anyone knows where I can get this stuff cheaper or better ideas, especially for the PSU and TV-out, PLEASE post and thanks in advance.
