1) Computer Speakers (i.e. Logitech Z-560/680, Klipsch 5.1) vs. Receiver and HT speakers? Which one is better?
2) Heard I could get a MB with appropriate onboard sound connection to run to receiver (i.e. SPDIF,optical,etc.) w/o extra sound card. Is this true and are there advantages to doing this versus having an added sound card?
3) Looking to run cable/direcTV through computer for TIVO-like function. I'm looking ATI AIW and have seen others in forum mentioning other options. I also want good performance on the video cards for some games and graphic design.
4) HDTV tuner cards. Are they worth getting right now or should I wait until prices go down?
I am looking for this HTPC to do DVD/TV Watching as well as some games and graphic design as I mentioned earlier. Any threads you could refer me to would be greatly appreciated.
