CableCard and New Media Center PCs

I am looking at building/buying a media center pc. However, I am curious as
to the new features coming out in 2006. I can only assume the cablecard
support will become a reality, but probably not until the next version of
Windows, right?

If I build/buy a decent machine now, do you think I will be able to upgrade
it later on? Anything things to watch out for that will not be supported
(e.g. MC Extenders?)?

Any help would be appreciated,
Mark
