Thanks for the advice, frying a new board
on what will be my first time assembling
would have sucked. I had also thought
about a used Dell Optiplex case, and sure
enough those are probably not microATX (from
what I find here online). In fact some older
Optiplex cases are BTX, which has gone away,
never even heard of that.

I haven't bought anything yet, just starting
to poke around. Sandy bridge and lower power
cpu sure looks like a great htpc.
