    Adding HTPC to home theater

    On DYI: The house is owned by the family. (I live here with my mom, who I take care of.) Its easier to get thier blessing by getting a contractor than getting anyone to agree to let me do any DYI that affects a wall or floor. (There are some things I can do, but clearly, any drilling or making...

    HTPC vs "internet connectable"

    The whole idea of the bundled deal with audioholics is that you get a very large savings by getting the bundled deal. Something like 45% savings over buying individual pieces. In any event, I'm sure Klipsch is still a very good product. I just need to see if it fatigue me, like some of the...

    HTPC vs "internet connectable"

    Ok, I"ll have to see about doing something else other than Klipch then. Seems like that was the best deal though. Not too high cost, good quality speakers, awesome subwoofer, and a nice reciever. It will be either the holidays or maybe even next year before I get the surround sound, so I'd...

    Adding HTPC to home theater

    How do you add an HTPC to a home theater setup? The soundcard would have 7.1 surround sound capability in the HTPC, but I'd already have a nice receiver that not only does 7.1 surround sound, but is more than capable of driving said speakers. -I don't actually plan on getting more than...

An NAS system would be the ideal solution, that way all computers in the house could access the files in a central...

    HTPC vs "internet connectable"

    Thanks, I'll have to do more research into what the best speaker is for me. I don't plan on listening to my surround sound LOUDLY, as suggested when using horn tweeters. [Edit: Then again, I do like the idea of being able to blast the house when watching say.. Star Wars hexology (coming to...

    HTPC vs "internet connectable"

    Wanted to mention: Reasonable is maybe $1000 dollars. I'm planning on buying a nice Klipsch speaker package with subwoofer and reciever: http://store.audioholics.com/product/3066/66226/klipsch-rf-52-ii-home-theater-package Why do I want to spend less on the actual TV, since that is arguable...

    HTPC vs "internet connectable"

    Right now, its all the rage for new televisions to have internet connectability... but from reading the descriptions of "internet connectable" on Bestbuy.com it looks like the connectability is limited to whichever services they specifically allow on the television. Now, I can save quite a...
