The old PC is now sitting on the floor next to my stack of stereo equipment.
It's amazing what an old PC, a 50' length of LAN cable, and a wireless keyboard can do. I can't tell you how much fun it is to load up the Rhapsody player, dial up any tune I want from the sofa, and have it instantly come roaring out of the Oris Project.
Where am I sitting right now? On the sofa!
Viva le convergence!
Next step: Use the TV as the PC monitor (gotta find a cheap PCI video card w/TV out). Also, as mentioned in another thread, I still need to upgrade the sound card. The M-Audio Delta 410 looks interesting at $175. It's the least expensive offering that provides SP/DIF coax output.
