Tom's Hardware has an interesting piece on building an HTPC based on AMD's Maui platform and Windows 7. Silent PC Review and others reported on the platform in November and what's interesting is that the audio amplifiers can be integrated in the HTPC.
Not for me though, my 13 kilogram AV receiver won't be exchanged for an amplifier on a PCI express card. I'll keep feeding it digital signal exclusively.

MP TV series (2)
A little over a year ago I reported about the MP TV series plugin and how it blew me away. Last week a new version was released and it's even better. It still makes extensive use of the TV series database at http://www.thetvdb.com/. Not only the series banners, screenshots and episode guides are used, but also the fanart graphics are used in the background. The user interface for configuration has been improved. 
By now my TV series folders are standardized to the extent that I don't need to tweak the regular expressions for filename parsing anymore. 
The first screenshot on this page shows the opening screen where you can select which series you want to watch. The second secreen shows the different season posters. The last one has the individual episodes for a particular series and season, including a screenshot and an episode guide.
Interestingly, this plugin project is hosted on Google Code, not on Sourceforge.
