For HTPC, I suggest you look for configuration which can output HD Audio through HDMI.

Your setup could be:
Core2Duo or Core2Quad with ATI 5xxx series video card.
or
i3 or i5 with H55 or H57 motherboard which support HDMI audio.

My new favorite for HTPC frontend now is Media Center 7 + MediaBrowser. It's better than MediaPortal as I can't combine multiple share drive into one virtual folder. With WM7 + Mediabrowser, all my different HD movie can be combine into one virtual movie folder so I can access my movie from one view.
