I just got a new computer that has 5.1 surround sound built in and am in need of a new receiver. I currently have a really old sony receiver that has 5.1 dolby pro logic that doesnt seem to work correctly with my pc. Anyone know of a cheap receiver that I can use with my current speakers? I also think that I would need a new sub, since it has a weird system control cable that doesnt seem like it would be supported with newer systems.

If you're looking for a decent cheap receiver, I recommend Onkyo. Very good high-end equipment, and you can get a low base model with surround very pretty inexpensive.

For the best quality mp3s use EAC (exact audio copy) to rip your audio CDs and LAME to encode them. Follow this guide:

If you have 5.1 surround capabilities on your pc, all you need is a good set of pc 5.1 speakers. I got the Logitech Z-5300e set of speakers, from Best Buy, for $200. They are killer speakers. They have the five satellite speakers, and a big subwoofer. They are THX certified, easy to hook up, and the sound amazes my friends. You should give them a listen, in the store, sometime.
Good luck!
