My newer 400 PII is working great! Am currently watching the DVD 'DUNE' which I just purchased. It's great because I can put a small pic in the upper right of the monitor and watch the weird flick while I am skipping around the Internet. I have a TV across the room and was wondering what exactly I needed to connect my PC (DVD) to it to watch DVD's on there also? I believe it is probably a simple item so forgive me in advance if its a dumb q. I have the Creative Labs DxR2 (I think it's called) kit. It has a video passthru cable for watching on the monitor and a multi-output with a weird cable that splits into both a normal composite out and an S-video out. You get normal stereo sound from your speaker out on your sound card, or maybe that's my All-In-Wonder Pro and the sound comes out of the multi-output cable. Too many cables behind my PC. It also has a Dolby Digital signal that you can plug into a Dolby Digital (AC-3) Decoder, if you have one, for full 5.1 channel surround. FWIU the Dolby cable should ideally be less then six feet but you can probably get away with longer. If you're doing stereo sound then just get a shielded cable to run across the room. Make sure your video cable is a good, shielded one if you really are stretching it "across the room". If you're in different rooms then http:/www.x10.com/ has a "Big Picture" unit that allows you to transmit the video and stereo at 1.2 GHz up to 100 feet to a receiver and has a mouse remote so you can control the player software. I bought this for $99 because my computer is upstairs and almost complete on the other side of the house. I can't really heartily recommend it because microwave ovens screw up both the picture and sound royally.
