[QUOTE="ThaClown, post: 227905, member: 20860"] 1) I'd build myself (its FUN and less expencive) but that all depends if you can do it and have the time... 2) If you want HD, I'd go for - passive Ati HDxxxx series card (these are looking good [url]http://www.missingremote.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=2479&Itemid=2)[/url] - dual core processor - motherboard with SPIDF-out and firewire - 2GB DDR2memory. Then add some silent casefans, a 500GB HDD (or more??) and a nice looking case. 3) Well that is really personal, you say min 42" so the I would say plasma... Also at that size id go 1080P (also since you are going for Blue-Ray) 4) Well They are both digital, but HDMI supports audio too, so since you are still buying id go for HDMI-HDMI... 5) imo your budget for audio is way onder par... I would spend alot less on the PC (maybe 800) and invest in some nice speakers and a good AMP (say around 1100). At a budget of 3400 euro i'd want to invest more in sound (especially if you are planning to go HD...) 6) sure.... The Sony HT-DDW990 fits better in a total budget of 1200 I think. My opinion is that at least 30% of the budget for a HT system should be audio.... Also how would you controll the Amp if you place it in a different room??? [/QUOTE]
