What are you trying to do??

not sure yet....

I went to look at a surround package last night and they had it hooked up to a PC which was routed to a plasma tv. The PC acted as the tv tuner/video recorder/dvd plaver....acted like a tivo system too. (pause live tv) when not watching tv, the plasma replaced the PC monitor. Was way cool, and now that I'm not moving I wanna do something stellar in my basement rec room. I already have the bigscreen.
