This one from memory express looks alright to the ignorant eye.

I don't really want to spend any more than $350.
I got a home thatre in a box and I've had no qualms about it. I enjoy it. I got a Toshiba and I think I spent around $350. My friend has a nice home theatre that he pieced together and I'd guess that he spent around $2000. Have I noticed a big difference? Not really. They're both oodles better than a plain old tv with built in speakers. As far as I'm concerened the sound is better than a plain old dvd plugged directly into the tv and that's good enough for me.

If you're looking for the best sound and the best experience you may want to spend more on a higher end system, otherwise if you're looking for something that is better than the plain old tv sound a home theatre in a box is good enough.
