You built a $3000 system, and you're using some cheap $30 speakers? :roll:
That's a crazy system though.
So are you going to get a nice phase change cooling next so you can make your athlonfx55 to fx-60?!?!
Yea...I'm in the process of shopping around for some new speakers. I'm holding off b/c I'm trying to figure out if the wife is going to allow me to run 5.1 in the study.
Any suggestions? I've heard the logitech's rock.
And as for the $3000 system....it wasn't. Check my earlier post on pg. 2 for the cost.

Get the Fluance 5.1 SX-HTB system for $259
and find a $150 amp somewhere on ebay.

too late....already ordered some Klipsch Promedia Ultra 5.1's.....I don't think I'll be disappointed.
Never heard of Fluance. However, I hadn't heard of Athena a couple of years ago, and now they power my entertainment center. (they rock)
Thanks for the suggestions though.

But you can't play 'em yet. Have to be unlocked by valve. For me, that'll be 2 am.

Don't forget to add your hl2 benches and screenies here when you can.

I want to see screenshots on how it looks on your system.
Do you have FRAPS installed?
You can fps bench any real-world game with it. And you can do a screenshot with avg fps on the top right corner of your screen.
