It's just a matter of using the proper wires. I'm assuming you already have some speakers for your PC, and a sound card. either way if you want to keep those connected, and use the receiver, you'll need a mini-jack or two. A mini-jack has a male 1/8" connector to plug into your PC. Then it's basically a splitter which has a female 1/8" connector(for the PC speakers) and a female RCA connector. Then you'll need to run some RCA's to your receiver. I did the same thing to my PC. Although, I didn't have to run wires upstairs. I'd imagine you're gonna have to try to drill a hole somewhere to accomplish what you want.

I'd get you a link for what you need, but I'm on the way out the door.
