Yeah, I was considering that.

Yeah, I was considering that. If I’m going to build a client PC, then I would expect it to be capable of playing back bluray which shouldn’t be much of an issue. And I’ll be happy with decent computer speakers. Personally I’d like a separate receiver/speaker setup, but PC speakers can easily handle this job while keeping things small.

OTOH, the office PC is on the opposite side of the wall to where this stuff would be going. If I were willing to drill a slightly larger hole (already rg6 going through), I could put through HDMI or even a small audio cable and run the office PC as a dual monitor setup. I just worry about how robust that will be though.
