I have this computer hooked up to my home theather surround sound receiver for 7.1 surround sound via tos-link and prologic audio setting.
Aureal A3D Vortex-3 Sounds great.
This is going to be a cool computer because I can pull it out every Halloween and set it up. Already loaded with all the Halloween stuff I like.
This is a great project for the entire family.
And really inexpensive too. You can purchase a used Windows 98 1ghz computer for about $75 on eBay.
