Any ideas? (What hardware and stuff out the ports collection).... please
keep hardware limited to anything available in a computer superstore like
MicroCenter (not special order or web only)

I switched ISP's for the first time in 5 years and now have access to cable
TV for the first time in 15 years (I have not owned a TV for 10 years).
So I am very new to the hardware side of the the equation but I have worked
in streaming media so am at home on the software side.

So far I have hooked the HDMI and speakers up to my monitor (I need to move
the back and forth between the sound card and the monitor currently).

Here is the dmesg for the machine I want to set stuff up on:
