Every time we're asked for speaker and/or receiver suggestions and our victim's eyes glaze over as the discussion stretches on, we're reminded of why HTIB (home theater in a box) systems are so successful. As crazy as it seems to us, most people just want to get going with the HT, not invest in a lifestyle. Based on the review at the aptly named HomeTheaterInABoxReview, the Yamaha
YHT-591 sounds like a system we could recommend the next time we're asked. At $649, it's on the expensive side of the HTIB spectrum, but you get what looks like a slightly detuned
RX-V463 (105-Watt, 5.1-channels), 5 bookshelf/desktop-sized speakers and a 10-inch subwoofer. Other than the spring clips on the receiver, it looks like the receiver will survive a few round of speaker upgrades, with YPAO room EQ, HDMI connectivity and good codec support. Hit the link for the full details.

This would go good in my office lol
You would probably be referring to the RX-V465 rather than the RX-V463.
Actually looks like the Box (@ hometheaterinaboxreview.com) is of an HTR6240...
the equivalent to the RXV465
I've got to read more on this subject...could you hook your computer into this?
ya, all you need is an rca to mini cable
5.1, damn if everything would just move to 7.1
Along the lines of inexpensive home theatre I'd love to see a review of speakers from www.thespeakercompany.com as they are very cheap and got the highest rating, for their price range, from auholics.com
I mean audioholics.com
