    Okay, Logitech Z-5500's ordered

    I've done some reading, and it seems like the quality of optical and coaxial is about the same, so it doesn't matter which I use, right?

    The speakers come with wires for 6-channel direct link (using 3x 3.5mm phono cables I assume), which I gather is the best solution for PC usage. Back of sub has ports for this 6-channel direct, along with an optical and a coxial.

    So I was proposing this setup -

    Optical Switcher - http://www.tvcables.co.uk/cgi-bin/tvcables/SW001.html

    PC - 6-channel direct (3x 3.5mm cables).
    DVD - Coaxial.
    PS2 - Optical.
    XBox/360 - Optical.
    GameCube - RCA (as that's all there is).

    Looks about right. Unsure if I should use optical or coaxial for my DVD Player, as my player uses both. I can't find a disadvantage to using one over the other, unless someone can enlighten me.

    Think I'm finally done!

      Electrical is prefered over optical but I have a fairly hi end system and the differences are beyond my ears.

        Good enough for me! Coaxial is it!

        All sorted them like to thanks everyone who's helped me out on this... I came into this with literally zero knowledge, and I feel like I've got the subject grasped now
