I recently purchased a new TV which means that there is a Sony Wega free to be used in my bedroom. Since this is where my computer is I thought I might be able to use it as a very basic HTPC. My Specs: AMD Athlon 1.4 CPU 512 mb Ram nVidia GeForce 2 MX 64mb Sony Wega fs100 27" I am...
Okay, so I tried to use the full version to perform an upgrade but kept getting errors about having an existing version. I ended up taking Vince's advice and simply formatted the drive and started fresh. I decided that if I needed to download drivers I could do it from my desktop. However the...
I just purchased a used laptop (dell latitude 300mhz)and it came preloaded (without a disk) with win 98se. I use ME on my desktop and would like to put it on this laptop. The thing is that I only have the full version not the upgrade and I am afraid to format the laptop without any drivers or...

MOBO- ASUS A7A266 --$235
RAM- 256mb DDR --$75 (probably 2 sticks)...

First let me say that I am a little confused but...
I think you would do much better to have your fronts on stands next to the TV (a few feet apart). You may also want to bring your rears down to the walls, two feet or so above ears, if possible (not sure where that door you were talking about...
Here is my thought.
Place the TV on the 12' wall and set up your couch 6-8' back like you want to. As for your surrounds, ceiling mount them. It sounds like you like them high anyways. This would even give you enough room for a platform for rear seating.
Then you could set up the other end of...
