So....I'm throwing my husband a surprise 40th birthday party. A party needs music, right? I'm throwing this bash at the local community center which is miles away from any kind of urban activity. So far out that a DJ wants my firstborn AND my left arm. I get the brainy idea to use my computer. It's got a million 80's hits on it. I'll have to do something about the speaker system though.

I figure that I'll kill two birds with one stone. I can buy him a new home entertainment center (speakers, reciever, etc) for his birthday present and I'll use it to do the music for his party.

I am, however, completely out of my element when it comes to this stuff. Theres a tight time frame for party setup and little room for error.

So, at the risk of sounding like.....a girl, is this as simple as I think it should be? Will speakers for the TV hook up to my computer? Will I need special cords or converters? Is there anything quirky I should know about this procedure before heading down to price out various competitors? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
