I want to build a mini ITX sized HTPC for my sister, but I'm coming up short trying to find a video card to fit this build because of the current TV that it needs to pair with.
The TV is a old CRT with the standard Composite + S-Video input, as well as Component (YPbPr). Because of that, what I put together must have a separate dedicated video card as I do not know of any onboard that supports any analog outputs other then VGA, so the video card chosen must support one of those analog outputs (would prefer Component out). Also, HDMI with audio on the video card is a must to be future proof, when she finally decides to ditch the CRT and get a HDTV . It should also be capable of Blu-ray playback (3D BD support not required), but everything I find that has analog outputs (not counting VGA) is very old and outdated (would probably let out the magic blue smoke if you even tried to playback BD content), and doesn't have a HDMI output, let alone HDMI with audio.
Am I SOL or is there something that can fit the bill?
