[QUOTE="T0mpa, post: 23522, member: 15838"] Hi, i am new to this(htpc) and i have a couple of questions. It would be nice to replace all the boxes(dvd, digital tv box and more) in the living room so i thought i would give my pc a go. Its a P4 2.8 1Gb memory Nvidia 6800GT Soundblaster 2 audigy. The thing is that i want the best sound and picture around since i am thinking about replacing some fairly good stuff. So will it really be as good picture with a HTPC as i get with a 600€ DVD player? Will it be as good sound(i will keep my yamaha amplifier as a amplifier) I know that i will need to buy a tv card for satelite aswell. If i need to buy some new equipment, what do you recomend? Things that i want: Excelent picture with DVI or HDMI (at least 720p?). Excelent 6.1 or 7.1 sound. Ease of use(for the wife and kids, wich i perhaps do not have today :-) ) Stupid questions perhaps.... Thanks in advance. /Thomas [/QUOTE]
