I have an Antec Fusion HTPC Case (with VFD and Volume Knob) and would like to get a linux Media Center.

Right now I have an ATI HDTV Wonder (one Coax for HD and one Coax for standard), and I read that the standard coax isn't supported in linux.

I might sell off the windows based HTPC hardware and am wondering if anyone here has suggestions for Tuner, MB that will work with Antec Fusion and linux.

Thanks

Hmm sounds interesting, what media centre software are you gonna use, MythTV? As for a board any decent looking P965 m-atx board will do fine, can't think of any off hand though. This link may be of use http://www.linuxis.us/linux/media/howto/linux-htpc/tuner_cards.html.
