Looks much cleaner, very nice!

I'd get an Apple Airport or a SlingBox and stream the music wirelessly from your PC to your amp.

Bluetooth sounds OK as well, but wifi is generally much better.

At the price point of the new Apple TVs being the same as an Airport Express, that would be a viable option as well.

However, since he has a PS3 already, using that in conjunction with ps3mediaserver, it will allow him to playback any file format he throws at it and due to the internal HDD on the PS3, he won't be relying on a server running to playback music.

You could just unplug the sub to listen to music....but saying that, a decent sub will integrate perfectly into a stereo set up.

Correct, if the crossover is set properly, they can be integrated quite well. Also, many receivers have the option to not output a signal to the LFE if a stereo signal is detected.

As far as running floor standing speakers without a sub, while it depends in the frequency response of the speakers, proper power will be a big factor as well. Since upgrading my receiver, my fronts now dig a lot deeper and I only really use my sub for movie and game playback.
