I'm going to replace my current rackmounted touchscreen computer with a separate screen and case. I'm tired of not having easy access or enough slots. I've no need for cosmetically appealing front panels. It's all behind a door anyway. But before I decide upon a case, I'm wondering whose motherboard to consider.
I'd really like to get something that'd be more than capable of handling being an excellent media delivery device. All the data is on a file server so motherboard storage controllers are less important. What's important is getting out from under the foolishness of IRQ sharing and conflicts when multiple display, network and tuner cards are installed. So a board that had a PCI bus designed for HTPC, MCE or other DVR types of services would be ideal.
Any suggestions or websites to consider to find out more?
