I have Kenwood Reciever, can't remember the model, but it was the top of the line until about 2 weeks after I bought it. It had the most optical inputs so I went with it.
-Kenwood surround speakers and 10 inch self powered woofer.
-Panasonic DVD, dolby 6 channel.
-Dishnetwork DD surround sound reciever 4900
-Playstation 2
-Sony 250 CD Changer
-JVC 36 Inch TV, but I am buying my neighbors big screen very soon!
I think that is it for home theater, don't even know where to begin on puters.... I guess just mine.
-Lian Li Aluminum Case
-AMD 1800 XP (2100 on the way)
-MS Turbo MB
-768 Memory
-Adaptec SE Card
-DDS- III DAT Drive SCSI
-Panasonic SCSI DVD Drive
-24X CD Burner
-Adaptec Ultra 160 Card
-4/ 70 gig, 10,000 RPM Ultra 160 LVD Seagate Drives
-NVidia 64 Meg Video Card
-120/240 Battery Backup
Umm and take your pick 21 or 22 inch HP (Sony) Monitors scattered throughout the room.
I think that is it.

What problems did you have with the gigabyte board?
I would never go with a VIA chipset again. It took me a month to get the bugs worked out of this board :rant:

The Asus board is *****, I have talked to many people and at one point in time was running 3 of them in my own systems, I have gotten rid of all but one. They constantly reset themselves in the BIOS. You will pull a reboot and it will set itself to the default proc and clock speed. I have browsed their forums and people are always bitching about it and yet Asus does nothing.
