Most motherboards are usually geared toward the enthusiast or the budget builder, but more and more manufacturers lately are creating specialty-type motherboards, like ones for home entertainment. abit has created a motherboard just for this niche of people: the AN-M2HD. As the days pass, HTPC's continue to gain massive popularity with moviephiles with the advent of larger storage devices and HDMI. The AN-M2HD has an onboard HDMI connection for some of today's newer monitors/TV's. The AN-M2HD utilizes the new NVIDIA GeForce 7050PV North Bridge and NVIDIA nForce 630a South Bridge chips. Each chip is cooled by a heatsink to add to that extra quietness for a theater setup, but 4 auxiliary fan headers are included on the motherboard if extra cooling will be needed.
