I was wondering about on-board video and sound because I thought that it may be easier to find an ecs compatible card separately but if people have had good luck with them then it's really no big deal. I am probably not going to do anything more graphics-intensive than watching videos, I would like dual-monitor support if possible though but not having it would not be a deal-breaker. It is also nice to know that I will be able to install 64-bit windows 7 and still use eCS.
Thank you all a lot, you have all been really helpful!
