Hey guys!

I want to build a cheap media center PC which will have to run linux and Elisa/MythTV, so I need a small MB which does not come with all the bells and wistles...so I was thinking of a Mobo with an Intel 945G/945GC/945GZ chipset with onboard graphics...the problem is that I would like to have optical SPDIF output so that I can have full 5.1 surround for watching DVD's on my surroud sound system which has optical input. Does anyone know which motherboards has this feature coz I cant search on the product pages for this. Or is my best bet to go Gigabyte and buy a SPDIF audio output bracket and connect it to the internal out? and are these brackets available in South Africa? Help!

Thanks guys!
