This was my setup for about a year. (I know, I know, huge anime human being). Most ghetto rig ever. I managed to squeeze a simple HTPC out of a 3 year old Emachines, a cheap Infocus X1a, a used 700W Dolby Digital DTS 5.1 (it produced incredible sound though) I bought off craigslist for $50, and a pull down screen I dug out of the school dumpster. Not loving bad for a starving college student.    This is me now. Nice setup, if I do say so myself  . 2 CPUs run through a USB-VGA KVM to a 17in LCD, G15 keyboard, and MXRevolution (yea, its that $100 mouse). The Westinghouse LTV- 19w3(1440x900) HDTV is running the gaming box on the desk @ DVI and the poo poo dell on the floor @ VGA, so I use the remote to switch between those. I manually switch the headphones between the system. I like this because it gives me nice flexibility by creating three independent selection loops between the sound, the monitor, and HDTV. The Xbox360 runs at 1080i (I've found that when forced between choosing 720 or 1080 on a 1440x900 native resolution, 1080 always yields better results). There's also a really ghetto patch through to a jerry-rigged bookshelf stereo system you can't see, but I'm using that for my impromptu speakers.
