Wellllll, I need something semi portable with everything I need, because of what I said about accomodation issues. Great thing about this is that the review say theres heaps of space inside for even greater things, so gimme 2-3 years when it starts getting slow and hopefull it will still give me what I want with a few mods.
And the price was fairly amazing.
We discussed weight. I, personally, couldn't care less about the weight of it. People say "you'll come crawling back" and all that gubbins, but the simple matter of is I spent the last two years lugging multiple textbooks for each of my 6 subjects round in on my back at high school and I'd grown to handle it. 8 multi hundred page books + excercise books annnd folders for loose paper notes, ooooor one lapop? I know which one I'd choose. And chances are, I won't be moving it everyday, because there's a computer lab.

Found this on sale for $15. Using this and my 4GB card on PSP allows me to devote my 2GB card solely to GT and other UMD-only games' save files.
The 4GB card is now PSN games and Minis and the 8GB is currently just PSOne games, but may also be used for movies on vacations.

1) What's the receiver
Sony STR-K660P
2) What cables have you tried? Just a regular HDMI cable?
I have tried HDMI and a Coaxial sound cable. I have a optical cable but it's not long enough to reach the PC.
3) Are you getting sound on all of the speakers, but just the two channels?
With HDMI I'm getting left and right front speakers and the subwoofer. With the Coaxial sound cable I'm only getting Stereo sound.
4) Positive that the computer has the right drivers and is set to be sending 7.1?
Yes, but the receiver is only capable of 5.1 sound. The sound is onboard from the motherboard. Here is the product page from where I bought the motherboard here.

Mind sharing the name? I'm rather fond of those, which is rare nowadays so I haven't bought a pair of Vans in years.

Arc'Teryx Hercules Jacket in Everglade.
Yes it's a $325 softshell but the thing is awesome and I've been wanting it for a while now. Having $200 in giftcards helped out quite a bit though, I don't think I would have paid the $325 for it, but $125? Ya it's worth that no problem.

Well I have found out it was because someone in my household had selected 2CH on the receiver. Odd thing is that I can get 5.1 while the sound goes from the PC's HDMI to TV then through the TV's Composite to the receiver.
EDIT: I also changed the rubbish composite cables that came with the receiver to metal plated contacts and thicker gauge rubber composite cables. So much better now, that now I'm once again addicted to my music.

Cheap HDMI cable. Should do the trick.
