i have a toshiba 27a50 that i'd like to turn into the centerpiece of my modest home theater. i'm really considering home theater in a box because of all the features, convenience and cost, though i haven't heard anything for myself yet (the panasonic with dvd-audio comes to mind, or possibly pioneer or onkyo). other options i'm considering are getting a "high end" computer 5.1 setup with or without a dts decoder (with a dts decoder to hook up directly to a dvd player, without if i get a new sound card and hook it up to my computer, xp1800 with radeon 8500). i know from what everyone's told me that htib is the worst way to go, but it also seems to be the cheapest. for a small room (15x20), is htib that bad? or is component still clearly better without necessarily being more expensive? TIA!
