About 2 years ago I got myself a Gateway SX2801 pc as client. I bought this because of its size and features. This little computer has been a very welcome surprise ever since. I’ve not been able to match its power and silence, whisper quiet, with any of the HTPC’s I build myself.

Hi again,
my amplifier is just via analog chinch connected to the soundcard. Currently i consider to buy a THX speaker system. The Audigy has 7.1 output, and Teufel has nice (and expensive ;)) speaker sets which can be connected directly to the soundcard.

If I where you, I would seriously consider going for a seperate server and clients. My MP experience since I split the two is so much better. That is; very stable, no issue with recordings when there is an issue with a client or I'm fiddling with it, no noise from drives used for streaming or timeshifting.
