^ I really like the Logitech 5500. I read a PC Mag that the combo of Sound Blaster and these speakers were cool. Besides, if you go to www.logitech.com and look under 5.1, you will see there is a little thing for 5$ that converts your computer connectors to RCA to hookup ur PS2/XBOX etc to your speakers AND preserve the 5.1 sound. I tried this with GT4 and I can hear cars coming from the back =D.
Klipsch have some 5.1 that are supposed to be better than these for like 50$ more, but I went for these cuz of the features and the cool digital control.

I like doing it myself too, but I thought I'd get it faster. GTX was cheaper than my 6800ultra. I saw benchmarks, and my ultra is better than the GTX.
About the raptor... I'll buy one and put it as my primary master. I have to build a computer for my little brother, so Ill give him my 80gb one and Ill get myself a raptor. 10k rpm is cool!

looks like you're going to have to do a super-pi benchmark Demon
so the computer only cost 3200??? hmm... perhaps i need to build a new machine sometime soon; as mine is running since august of 2002, with a few upgrades since then (AMD xp 1900, 1gig ram, 6800 ultra, 600 gigs  )

Demon, it's hard for me to believe a 6800ultra begin faster then the 7800gtx. Prove it to me and i'll be happy to believe it |
I wrote it wrong... I have a PAIR of 6800 which was more expensive than having one 7800gtx. A pair of 6800 SLI yields better results than one 7800 as SLI splits the screen and you get twice (almost) the FPS in a game (one vid card controls half, the other controls other half). SInce the GTX just came out, the pair would have costed me like 600$ more. Something I wasnt ready to do cuz I rather wait until the 7 series has some more month into them.

DeMoN how happy are you with your 24" Dell LCD? I'm thinking of picking one up to match with a 6800 GT
