HTPC up and watching in 4 hours flat :)))

Just like to say thanks to all who have contributed to the various FAQ's found in this forum. I read as much as I could. Ordered the gear and was watching a DVD about 4 hours after UPS dropped the stuff off. Here's what I put together and couldnt be happier. Price ran about $1400. My biggest concern was the quality of sound. I must say I am very impressed. The sound IMHO is the same if not better than my Sony 7700. Thanks again Y'all.




My System:



HTPC:


AMD 1.4 Ghz Processor

Asus Motherboard

512 mb DDR ram

60 Gig 7200rpm Hard drive

Nvidia Geforce2 64mb DDR

Acer wireless keyboard (30ft range BTW)


Video:

Sony 7700 DVD (headed for EBAY)

Audio:

B&K Reference 30 (will be for sale going to either Sunfire or Lexicon) (this is a great sounding pre-amp....B&K is aweful to deal with. Jerry in service is good but everyone else is not. They don't reply to emails. Well enough of that rant. Lets just say I will not buy from them again, and discourage anyone thinking of buying a B&K product.)
