<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>Thanks. Can I connect the header
to an optical out, or do I have to use coax? Anyone know where I can get the
parts to do this?<br>

<p>I am thinking about making a HTPC for my dad. All I want it to do is run
boxee, which runs well on my netbook running UNR. So I figured I would get this
mobo:<br>

<br>
Any comments? Any potential pitfalls? Any better suggestions?<br>
<br>
Also, it says it does audio through SPDIF, but I don't see that port in the
picture. Can someone shed some light on this?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
