Explanation

HDMI output (B) is essential for a home theater PC because HDMI carries both high-definition video and multi-channel audio over a single cable, making it the standard connection for TVs and AV receivers in a home theater setup. ITX form factor (E) is important because Mini-ITX or similar small form factor motherboards allow the HTPC to be compact and unobtrusive, fitting neatly in an entertainment center. High-end cooling is unnecessary since HTPCs use low-power components; RAID arrays add cost and complexity not needed for media playback; and dual monitor outputs are a workstation concern, not a home theater requirement.
