If you had $200 to spend on a HTPC, what would you get motherboard/cpu/RAM wise? I've got enough other crap floating around to build an entire system with.

Motherboard and CPU 128.98 - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128394

RAM $99.99 ($20 rebate available) - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820220425

Total: $228.97

$30 ($10 if you do the rebate) over budget, but I think it's worth it.
