Built my second HTPC with these specs. Worked out fine. On-board audio and video sure simply things and cut costs.
USB 3.0, but I am not sure where you may take advantage of this with a dedicated HTPC unless you are using an external USB hard drive.
I checked my MB manual, but got no specification for audio. You will need to check the maker of the PC you select.
Great thing is all you are really doing is purchasing a good pc and adding a cable tv tuner. Windows Media Center is built right in if you choose to use it. Could not be more simple.
