Wow. I sure didn't take a very good look at that motherboard. It has the HDMI out and a Realtek ALC888 chipset that has 7.1 audio. I guess my final question would be if it could handle a blu-ray drive and output the audio correctly. I have a Pioneer receiver that has RCA inputs for each channel so I could hook the sound up that way I suppose. I've just been using the optical 5.1 for so long I forgot I had other options.
I guess I'm just concerned that I can build a PC blu-ray machine that will function the same as a blu-ray player for the same price or cheaper, plus have the added functionality of a computer. I want to make sure I'm not going to be lowering the quality of my movie experience in any way.
Thanks for the help!
