I am planning on building a 2nd computer, using my old Gateway (case, power supply & SoundBlaster Audigy Platinum 1 sound card, will have new MB & CPU) to be used mainly as a "Media Center" of sorts: light music production/editing (CD's, digital turntable with S/PDIF digital out, some Cubase), MP3's, JPEG's, some DVD & video. I would also be using it quite a bit to play games on Emulators (Arcade, Consoles), and some light web surfing.

What is the best PC Video Card (excellent quality & decent price) with the best picture quality (Composite or S-Video), optimized for a (Sony WEGA) 27" television?!?

I may even buy a larger HD to use it as a homemade TIVO-of-sorts, so I can get rid of my old VCR, since I have a rarely-used "AverMedia EZMaker USB 2.0" input device (comments? better TV card?), and my main computer is a good 20 feet away from the TV, AND the long A/V cable I bought is just a hazard when stretched across the sky of the room.

Reason being is: I don't want to buy another beast-of-a-monitor, or spend the big bucks on an LCD right now. Also, my main computer is usually (90%+ of the time) ripping/encoding/decrypting DVD's & video *(DVD Shrink 3 RULES!!!), and I can't do anything else while it sits there for hours a day doing so. It would be nice to peruse DVDRHelp.com even more than I already do, while the man comp is toiling away... it just has to look good on a TV, rather than a monitor!!

thanx in advance ;p
