Home Theater Idea I'm Tinkering With.

I'm a computer nerd at heart, and ever since I put two 42" LCD's on my desktop computer I've wanted to do a home theater PC, and of course dedicate a room to it. The idea being that it would have several TB of storage and I could just store all my movies on the hard drives. It'd also have a TV tuner, and of course internet for streaming from Netflix and whatnot. That's the easy part.
A few months ago I sold myself on the idea of using a pair of Phoenix Gold Cyclones as the subwoofer system. People do that already I understand, and that is also easy.
Now I see where a few of you guys have made soundboards to show off the Phoenix Gold gear at home, and I wonder how hard it would be to make a 7.1 Surround sound system out of Phoenix Gold amps? I guess you could take a 7.1 Preamp processor and run the amps off of that, but then what? What about the odd 7th channel?
