Built-in Amps for PC's

[NIKA]

especially now that windows has built-in surround support, and 600w+ power supplies are cheap, how about installing

 

small car amplifiers inside pc cases, and having speaker terminals on the back?

 

i thought it would be a great thing to add into HTPC's, because you dont need a receiver to get surround sound. all

 

you would need is a couple small car amps, depending on how many speakers you want. you could use a small 4-channel

 

to get the front 3, and use powered rears and subs for the full surround. or add another 2channel amp for the rears,

 

but it may get too cramped inside.

 

Anyone hear of people doing this? the only concern i see is the size limitations. definately would have to use at

 

least full-size atx cases to squeeze it all in there, and some really strong fans to keep it cool when its turned up.

 

a 700w psu would power a nice dual-core rig with a mild video card and that car amp with a fair amount of ease i

 

would think. this wouldnt be for huge loud speakers of course, but i think with a couple sets of 6.5" components for

 

the fronts and coaxials for the center you could make a great sounding system, with it all included in one box. it

 

would make things very simple for the end user- no stereo to be turned on, no settings to worry about just plug and

 

play.
