That board only supports single core processors, are single cores going to be powerful enough? Any dual core suggestions?

From what I saw in the wiki I can use a bluetooth dongle and a wiimote to control MC, so cross of the remote and i will do that! I saw a lot of mobo and processor setups that are not available anymore, any suggestions for some more up-to-date models that work well?

Hi all! Im very excited to get my hands wet with Linux MCE and I am putting together a computer to use strictly as my media center. I already have a few parts which are:

Remote- http://www.amazon.com/Windows-Vista-Remote-Control-Receiver/dp/B000ST7QPA/ref=pd_bbs_2?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1228326468&sr=8-2

Tuner- http://www.amazon.com/Hauppauge-1191-WinTV-HVR-950Q-Personal-Recorder/dp/B001DEYVXO/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1228326398&sr=8-1

GPU- Nvidia 8600 GS

1 Gig of Ram

130 Gig HDD IDE (have a 500 gig external ill be using for movie storage)

I still need to choose a MoBo and processor though and was curious what your suggestions are. I dont want to spend a fortune, somewhere around $200 or less if possible. Ive built PCs before but never built one just for this use so I want everything to be compatible.
