Thumbs up for the [H]orde at hardocp.com.

Just to add the sites I visited often when I was digging up info on HTPC related stuff:

ProjectorCentral for selecting the right beamer for your circumstance, specifically their calculator.
Missing Remote and the Green Button for news, reviews and general advice on HTPC gear.
