Which is preferred? I no longer have a HT setup, and I won't be getting one in the near future...but I really miss watching my Blu-rays! So I'd like to figure out the least expensive option for watching BD's with my PC. This is what I have: Dell Inspiron Intel Core2 Quad Q8200 @ 2.33 GHz 8 GB RAM Asus Xonar Essence STX soundcard Acer F20 Monitor (DVI only) Behringer Truth B1030A Active Monitors. I can get an internal BD drive for the same price as a standalone, so that's not an issue. I'm guessing an internal drive would be cheapest, but I'd prefer a standalone to be honest. This, of course, would require a separate video card with HDMI, which is an added expense. I need your guidance and maybe some opinion on the pros and cons of either. Thanks so much in advance!
