I'm all for building rigs used for editing, encoding, gaming, and even productivity, but for true HTPCs intended to live in the living room hooked up to the TV and used solely for media playing, I think people go way overboard with what they need.
I have a little acer revo which I added some memory to and run XBMC on. It cost me only $200 and it serves all my media needs.
Most ppl today do not just stream movies but also use it as a Steam Box. You need just a little more punch for it.

is there a damn chart anywhere that shows what video card the APUs will "crossfire" with?

Well then we might just have a semantic argument since I'd call a steam box a light gaming PC rather than an HTPC, but point taken.
