Just bought a new toy

[craig]

Went out today to buy a new toy and ended up with an Advent Entertainment PC DHE 1000 loaded with MS XP Media Centre 2005 and a 40" LCD TV.

It's got connections for a dolby 7.1 surround sound reciever.

Can anyone recommend a decent make and model number for a dolby 7.1 surround sound bit of kit?

I would suspect Sony.

Is windows media nice to use? Your the only person I know who has ever got it.

I've seen it running. Looks very smooth. If you buy a copy you get a remote with it. Pretty swish. I'm gonna get a PC downstairs to hook upto my 42" plasma :D

Media centre is pretty cool. I dont have it (bf is anti windows) but I've used a mates. I love the way I can choose music albums with the remote control.

To be honest it's still sitting in the box.

I have dug the manual out hence the question on the 7.1

The screen needs to be delivered and is due next week so it will take a few days to let you know.
