Default My first blu-ray setup!

Hai everyone, just registered with these forums. I've been browsing quite a bit but my new Sony BDU-X10S arrived and Gattaca blu-ray so I figured I better register and actually contribute! I'm a real film buff whose always been interested in going blu-ray and recently decided to take the plunge. I'm unemployed atm (yay for world economy) and don't have much money, but I was surprised to see just how cheap it was to turn my computer into a HD film player. Popped in my Sony drive and Windows 7 recognised it straight away and installed drivers for it. This drive comes with PowerDVD which seems ok, apart from it disables Aero which makes the lovely Windows 7 interface look a bit crappy, but aside from that its been fine. I'm yet to try gaming simultaneously - I have a dual-monitor setup - 22" + 20" - and often watch films while playing Supreme Commander. I have a very powerful computer so I'm not expecting to have problems watching a blu-ray and gaming at the same time! Heres my rig:

Q9450
P5K Premium
4GB DDR PC8500
9800GX2
Cosmos S case
HP 22" and Samsung 20" - both 1680x1050 resolution.
