I have my Mythbox (ASUS A7N8X-E DLX) with onboard digital coax out to my
Pioneer 5.1 receiver.  The video card is a Chaintech FX5200 with VGA, SVid,
and DVI.  The SVID is also going to my Pioneer receiver.  I also have my JVC
VCR and SONY 5 disc DVD changer going that that recevier.  I have 2 Cerwin
Vega RE-30s (12" woofer, POWERHOUSE speakers btw) a JBL Northwood Center
Channel, dual JBL Northwood 8" tower rears and a JBL PB12 sub (12" 250W
sub).  I picked up all that stuff while I worked at Best Buy.  Luckily, my
brother works there now so I can get great discounts on things.
Unfortunately, I live in an apartment building so I can't turn on the sub.
The old woman below me is a school teacher.  I can barely listen to music at
2pm without her pounding on her ceiling.  One time, when I knew it wasn't
loud, I jumped on the floor REALLY hard in hopes that she'd shut up.  Let me
just say, I'm 6'3" tall and 280lbs (not a terribly big white guy).  I'm
suprised I didn't go through the floor.  haha.  Interestingly enough, she
has never pounded on my floor since that day.  Quite liberating.
