Default Home Theatre PC websites

I'm looking at some Home Theatre PCs, both barebones systems and custom built. I've looked at AOpen EA65, MSI Mega 865, Ahanix Divine, Shuttle, Cooler Master ACT-620, Asus DigiMatrix, Soltek, etc.

The PC will be hooked up to my TV to watch DVDs, to watch TV shows, and to record TV shows (digitally). I can then throw out my DVD player and VHS player. The PC will also run a webserver and a database.

The EA65 and Mega 865 seem overkill since they are designed to also be used without running Windows but since I'm running it as a webserver, it will be running Windows 24/7 so I don't really want to pay for that feature. But I like the LCD displays such as the one that comes with the EA65, Mega 865, and Ahanix VFD.

I want a remote control. Should I get the one that comes with the PC or use the one that comes with the TV Tuner card?

What's a good website for Home Theatre PC forums and reviews? I'm looking at htpcnews.com
