it's a toss-up.  the way i look at it, the PS2 can do everything i need, so i
can go with a minimal number of componants, which is a good thing for what i
want.  i can get away with only needing three componants, PS2, Stereo Receiver
and Projector.  i still haven't figured out where i will put the receiver and
the PS2 yet, and i may use a small rack, so it may end up not making a
difference.

can't wait to find out how that's gonna be.  it boots off of the HDD right?
so it should be fairly quick.

there is quite a bit of potential there.  can't wait to play.  ;)
