This is really easy stuff. Seriously. I think any Home Theatre PC (Acer Revo, Wolf's dual core, etc.) would work on a mac sense it was networked but I don't know what I am talking about in mac world. The mac equivalent would be the mac mini (or another mac in wolfs situation if you needed something more powerful). Mac minis have HDMI out. I am not sure if the format they can play are limited on it or not (make sure they can play full 1080p with 24 bit audio). I can't imagine they would be but who knows. You just network the mac mini to your other mac and plug it into that new Sony TV (giant HD monitor). Then it pulls data off your network and plays it on the tv. It will do 5.1, 7.1, 2.1, etc. You could control the mac mini with a wireless mouse, iphone, or programmable remote. Assuming they are capable like the pc equivalent.

try google mac mini htpc.
