Thank you Some Random Guy (love the name).

I will look into the hardwares you suggested. So $400 is the average price for the blu-ray dvd pc drive? I think I bought my first cd burner around that price and my first plextor dvd burner few years ago for $300 I think.

I went to my buddy last weekend where he setup his small theater using some kind of media server. When the kids wanted to watch a movie, I can see from the projector screen that he is browsing through his "computer" files labeled with movie titles and click one of the files and the dvd movie plays. I think he is using power dvd software. I am thinking to setup the way he did.
