Choosing a graphics card, this will all depend on your personal needs of your HTPC, will you be playing games, maybe even the latest games or most likely you need HD playback?
If you want to play HD content look for a HTCP logo for your shortlist. If you think you may some day upgrade to HD content this may be your chance to be ahead of yourself.
Choosing a HTPC Case can be a daunting process, my advice is to set a price and stick to it , otherwise you will get carried away and could end up with a 12″ touch screen and no money left for components.
Choosing a case is very personal decision as you are the only person who knows what you want to look at so I cannot advise a single case, however there are a few cases that are very popular among HTPC builders. Firstly you need to establish what you need from your case, maybe it needs to able to hold a large powerful graphics cards if you also plan to play games or maybe a large amount of HDD’s for all that HD video.
