A Micro ATX board won't give you much room to upgrade later, most likely has two slots for RAM, and will get hotter then a full sized board, might look Nforce4 too

The only reason I can think of for getting a micro-atx motherboard, is if you get a micro-atx case. The only reason for micro-atx is to save space. Personally, I like micro-atx cases, and itx cases, they're very easy to move and fit anywhere, but the expansion capability is limited by size, and the full sized boards generally perform better. Also, it's important to go with a name brand micro-atx case with power supply, as generally it's hard to find a power supply that fits the case afterwards, and most case's power supplys are very limited.

Drop the whole case, there's better ones (like Chenming, and Xion) that don't include the power supply. Buy the power supply separate, and get a Antec, Enermax, sparkle, fortron, Coolmax, or other top brand.

That's a very expensive internal card reader. I'd say you could save quite a bit by shopping around here. I think I paid around $9 for the one in my Qpack htpc. I'm also not to sure of the value of having an internal model since it takes up a drive bay. I've seen USB models for less that $7.

I bought a BenQ burner, I ended up giving it away due to it's lousy quality. I'd recommend getting a Pioneer, Nex, or liteon instead. Also, the best quality DVD media is made by Fuji, Ridata, and Taiko Yuden, none of which come in the Lightscribe media variety.

Here again, you could save money by shopping around. Tigerdirect has the 250gb model of the same drive for $80AR. http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...eid=0035742108

If it were me, I'd get Windows Media Center Edition. MCE is the simplest way to add PVR capability to a PC, so you'd save money vs buying a second program later if you wanted to upgrade.

I can't see a reason for this as normally the motherboard's onboard sound is quite good enough. Try the onboard first, before you decide to upgrade it.

1 SAPPHIRE 100119L-HS Radeon X550 256MB DDR PCI Express x16 Video Card - Retail
Model #: 100119L-HS

Here's my thoughts on this card. For a work machine or media center, this card should work fine. If you plan on playing any games whatsoever, I highly suggest getting a 6600GT or a X800. A 6600GT is only around $25 more, and you won't be so quickly forced to upgrade later.
