Could you give the cost numbers for both systems and what software you needed to buy for the PC. Also as I am leaning heavily toward a lap top replacement for my dying PC - what would I need to look for in one to be compatible with using it as a music medium? as well as usual functions.
If you want both, use normal xp home or xp professional. If you want your laptop transformed into a mediacenter, you could use windows xp media center.

Advantage of squeezebox is that you stream audio, no more changing disks. I am looking into this myself also. But, most people are using a higher end dac in combination with the squeezebox, so really cheap it isn't gonna be.

Flac is my preferred format.
