So, I have a Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, computer, cable box and DVD (will probably take out of the loop since it's pretty redundant considering the PS3, and 360), right now it's mayhem. I have the 360 and cable box hooked up to the TV with R/B/G cable, the computer, and PS3 connected to a Monoprice.com HDMI switch which is hooked into the TV, the Wii is going straight into the TV and the 360, PS3, cable box, and HTPC all have optical outs to the receiver. Ideally I would like to get everything that can be connected to the receiver and pass through all video to the TV, and handle the sound through HDMI for whatever can, I think my video card (HD4350) will pass through sound on the ATi dongle, not sure, if I have to go optical for the sound so be it.
So I guess I am looking for a receiver that has at least three HDMI inputs, can pass through video to the TV, with all sound stopping at the receiver, and can drive some Klipsch RF3-II's, a matching center, rears, and a sub, and the fun part ...on an extreme budget, like under $300. I don't need to be able to blow the roof off my house, just organize, centralize, and make the hell that is my AV closet a little less cluttered.
