Well, my daughter's room used to be my home office and she got all the goodies that I had in there. I used to run my PC sound through the Onkyo. I have the DVD player connected via the component outputs for best quality picture and all the audio is done through my Onkyo. All in all, the system probably cost a grand total of $500 to put together. It is a hodge-podge of my older gear that I put together so that we could enjoy good sounding movies and music in her room. I love the crisp sound of the Missions especially Bi-wired the imaging is good and they can get pretty loud. I'm probably going to improve the interconnects, but for now it's good for what it is. Opinions/ suggestions welcome. Cheers!
