Sorry if we were "dream crushers". Didn't mean to be. Got a bit off track. My bad.

I would go with a DLP tv over a plasma. I know for a fact the sony Bravia line works well with a computer. I have seen both a 55" and 65" hooked up and they both look great. The reason i say DLP over plasma is mostly cost. I picked up my 55" Sony last Jan for $1300 shipping included from Amazon. I personally prefer the picture over plasma also.
also - if your onboard sound outputs 7.1 you should be able to connect that right to your receiver - Then you wouldnt need to spend money on a sound card or the 2.1 logtech speakers.
