Listening to music...

So I'm sitting here listening to this nnntiiss song from daft punk, and it ocours to me that the setup im using is the most complicated ive ever heard of... So you see my roomate moved out today, and took his awesome 300 watt sterio with him, so i was stuck using my psp through the front line in in the tv. This the psp was streaming wifi shoutcast radio techno channel.. but thats not where its complicated, whats complicated is where the psp is getting its wifi from. I have a pppoe router from Bell canada that has a wifi antenna on it, so i change the router user and pass to a cusom one. Then i enable the pppoe server on my pfsence router, an embedded distro of free bsd, and run a cord from the bell modem to my gigabit switch. This then has a 30 foot ethernet cord through two walls onto the pfsense box, and a short cord to the cogeco modem. The cogeco box then converts to coaxial and runs the same 30 feet back to my coax port in the living room.... Not sure if i have heard of a more complicated setup...
