Who needs another component? If your media computer has a soundcard
has a digital-out, run it to a receiver that has a digital coax-in. My
computer is about 50' away from the reciever; I made a cable out of 75
ohm TV cable. Works great. I just use XP with Windows media player.

Also, using XP on my laptop, I can use remote desktop to *control*
the media computer (the one with the MP3's and digital soundcard) from
anywhere in range via wireless ethernet.
