[QUOTE="Baltic Johan, post: 225503, member: 64980"] Hi Petsa & Lotsfojazz, Thanks for your comments - it both increased my dilemma, and solved it. Which is god, and bad... It´s bad because one of the really god things about new projects is the investigation part when all details needs to be looked into, every stoned turned - and so on. It´s pleasant and painful! It´s good for now I can move into implementation! Which I can enjoy for quite a while if I work slowly enough. Just to clarify, I don´t have any equipment at all to day - except for my very old Grundig TV and a low budget combo Samsung DVD/VHS player - so I´m free to use my budget as I please! Petsa put the finger on a very important aspect - time. And since (even though I would love to spend hrs making out with a HTPC project) there are some other issues to take care of like; wife, house, children, work...:( , following will happen. Petsas comment made me take the decision to: - buy a new Marantz SR7002 receiver - buy a new BenQ W9000 - buy a new, decent DVD player (and wait for a while to see if Blu-Ray or HD-DVD wins the standardisation battle) - buy a good surround system This decision will give me the better of two worlds. I can get into implementation phase now - today! And I still have a HTPC project to look forward to! I can already now play with a server solution and my network - the step to HTPC can be made gradually but will probably speed up when it starts to get dark in Sweden next time (November 2008). I will for sure have lots of use of Lotsofjazz comments and will come back to the Forum when it´s time for technical details :) So - again - thanks guys for your input. It solved my dilemma at the same time as I still have a project to look forward to. /Johan [/QUOTE]
