What do I need to purchase to connect all my home theater components?

Lets start with video part. Assuming your TV has at least one component input, you can buy a Component A/V switch, with at leat 4 inputs to connect DVD, xbox360, apple TV, and Ps3 (the wii is SD)

Assuming your DVD player (or Hometheater in a box) has an AUX input, you can also buy a digital audio input switch (probably optical). If not, there is nothing you can do without an AV receiver.

Look at Gefen, but there are cheaper options as well.

I have a DVD player with 5 speakers and 1 subwoofer, a dish network reciever, a wii, a xbox, a xbox 360, a vcr, a apple tv reciever and a playstation 3. I would also like to hook up my computer to the TV. What do I need to buy that has enough inputs to receive all these components and that would allow me to have surround sound for all of them? Currently I only have one component that uses an HD cable, the rest are all the three prong type. I'm not sure what I would have to have to hook up the computer. Lastly I can't afford anything in the thousands but several hundred would be doable. Thanks
The TV is an 42" plasma (hitachi)
The DVD player is a Panasonic (5 disk changer HDMI) model SA-PT950

a higher end Receiver such as a Yamaha Dennon Onkyo or maybe even a Sony If you get one that does video up conversion you will only have to run one wire to the TV HDMI
