Equipment?

[wolf183]

I am trying to decide weather or not I should attempt to use my computer to run Karaoke or if I should go the conventional route and buy a actual machine.

I am curious about the hardware needed to do this? I already have a nice laptop and do not wish to purchase another one from MTU.

I am thinking about purchasing Hoster. What I need to know is what type of amp ect..

My other question is connecting the mic? Does this need to be connected to the computer itself or should it run through a amp as well.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
