Keefe , Congrats on building a new computer. That is also better than the one I currently have.
vee_ees that would be an awsome rig. The problem will be saving up all that money to do that setup.

Someday, when I build that system, I'll post the benchmark scores. I'll have my Denon and Klipsch stereo system hooked up to it, and then it'll truly be awesome with some of the best (by far the best in my personal preference) speakers and the best reciever rattling the floor as I rev up the engine in Need For Speed.

Yeah...It felt like you were actually there. The only problem was the sound card was horrible and so the clarity wasn't there. So if anyone has Sound Blaster Live! or Audigy, they have the optical outs which would sound as awesome as there stereo could sound.

These are the speakers we had used.

These are similiar to the speakers we had used, except mine were the newer version, the Infinity RS8A's which had the subwoofer lower because of the added power.
