What is the best way to connect my PC to my receiver?  I am guessing it would be digital out, then coax right?

Green Giant:
Yes, what kind of speakers you sticking in there?

squirrellydw:
I will probably use these in the ceiling

I dont know about the best way, but the cheapest and easiest way is the way I'm running audio from my comptuer. Simply get a  phono to rca adapter cable and just run your comptuer audio output to the rca inputs on your reciever. If you want a better solution you can get a soundcard with an optical audio output and run that to your reciever (assuming your reciever has an optical input) which would give you a cleaner audio signal, but i honestly do not think you will be able to tell any kind of difference in the sound quality in an arcade machine.
this is the cable I'm refering to

Unfortunately I had problems with the Radioshack cable.  If you don't want any buzzing sound/white noise I recommend this product.  I have one connected between my PC speaker jack and my stereo receiver and the sound is perfect!
