Ok guys. My system is now complete. I must say that it was way worth it. Yes I have lost some functions but I never really used the on-board computer, so no big deal to me. The sound quality is that of a professional competition system, the resolution for the DVD movies and Playstation 2 games are just sick. Here are some pics and a link to my site with more pics. I will add full details as to each component installed and what the costs were. (I put this on the other board as well)
