    Selecting Home theater setup w/ wireless rears

    Hey I live in a fairly small apartment, it has decent soundproofing as it is new, and I am on the groundfloor so I can have a sub without it being too irritating for my neighbours.

    Currently I just use my tv speakers but i am looking to set up a 5.1 system, i play all my audio through my computer-> xbox 360 -> TV. Most of the movies I watch in the same fashion, although occasionally if i actually rent a DVD ill plug it into the xbox.

    The ol' lady won't let me run wires to where rear speakers would go so those must be wireless (they can plug into a receiver that receives a signal and plugs into the wall but there is no way to get a cable from the front to them.

    This is an entry level system I have been looking at HTIB systems as i only want to spend 300-500 (used equipment is likley) Something like the Logitech z-5450 seemed like it would be perfect for me unfortunatly it was canceld awhile ago. Anyone have any alternatives / feel like flaming me for being nubish. I am pretty tech savvy but have never set up a speaker system. (I work for a tech company and repair computers for a living limited jargen please)

    ...as the 'Buy it Now' price ($220 + $40 shipping), and they're a top rated seller. Another was asking $400 and yet another was selling a 'like new' system and the bid is below $100.

    You may want to check them out.
    I call my bathroom Jim instead of John so I can tell people that I go to the Jim first thing every morning.

    If you say the word 'gullible' very slowly it sounds just like oranges.

    Purchasing a HTIB wireless system doesn't seem likley on ebay as shipping is 100+$ to my location in canada.

    Anyone used:
    Kenwood RFU-6100 -
    Rocketfish™ Wireless Rear Speaker Kit

    anyone using a wireless amp that works good for them? Seems buying that on ebay and then purchasing speakers/main receiver locally would make the most sense. Couldn't find it but is their a Front receiever that comes with a built in transmitter and a wireless rear amp?

    Thanks for the responses
