I'm currently building a new HTPC based on that same exact motherboard. First one I received wouldn't power on so I'm waiting for the Egg to ship me a replacement at the moment so I can't give specifics on performance just yet.

I will say that that case is awfully big for that board and the rest of your components. If you're using a mini ITX board, a 2.5" HD and maybe an optical drive you might want to look into the case I just bought. The Wesena ITX2.

It's tiny, well-made, and you can get it with an IR receiver built-in plus remote. After buying a pico PSU (it doesn't come with one) you're at just about the same price as that huge Antec but with a much smaller footprint. Classier look too, in my opinion.

Do ATI/AMD GPU's support VDPAU now, I thought that was a nVidia only feature.

If you plan to play high def stuff the VDPAU decoder is great.

ATI/AMD support XvBA but with a VAAPI back end.
Nvidia supports VDPAU
Intel supports VAAPI

XBMC (Linux) supports VAAPI & VDPAU (or so says wiki).
