First I want to say how much I have enjoying creating my home media system. I appreciate the work that has gone into making this a reality. The learning curve was high (about1 1/2 months into it so far) but I'm a fast learner.
I've got my Core/hybrid going and a media director for the office. Next I am going to put together another m/d this weekend for the master bedroom.
I found a barebones system that I'm going to try out. Here is the link to the specs of the system I purchased:

From the looks of it, I think it will work. I will report back my experience.
