Nice.

I have a similar setup. What are you using for software? Are you using something specifically designed for HTPC, or just Windows and firing up Media Player to play your stuff? This is what I've been doing but would really like some kind of neat package. I wish they sold XP Media Center without having to buy the hardware....

I bought Windows XP Media Center 2005 off of newegg.com. Only $129, right here or buy a 3-pack right here. No hardware purchase required, my friend. Unfortunately, it doesn't come with the remote (I don't think so, at least), but the Audigy 4 does, so I'm sure I can use that. Perhaps I can even get my Yamaha remote to work?
