Pundit - R to be or not to be?

[tricks]

I already have my regular machine working successfully as a test HTPC.

Now I am ready to build my real HTPC that will/must connect to and HDTV. However there are a few questions I am puzzled about.

Is the Pundit R a good candidate to fulfill the above request? If so how do you go about it?

- Is the Pundit -R integrated Video card sufficient to connect to an HDTV using Powerstrip?
- If not, should a new card be purchased? Any recommendations? (Something as easy as plug and watch)

- DVI or component?

Should I wait until the Shuttle XPC Pentium M Video Player?

? comes out?

Finally should I settle for a MVP through composite to my HDTV?

Thanks everyone!!!
