speakers- 2.1 stereo with sub. plan to get 5.1 wireless surround from logitech

I plan to build my next one. but i dont have the money for it now

pie if you're planning on getting new speakers... dont waste your money

there are only 2 different speaker set ups worth buying, all rest are junk

both are logitech (you need the THX Certified!!!!)
#1 speakers out there
Logitech Z-5500 THX Certified 5.1

#2 speakers out there
Logitech Z-2300 THX Certified 2.1

you can check reviews on both, and others and will find these are the only ones worth looking at

i spent $180 on my z-2300 over a year ago, now they only $100... (i blare them almost 24/7) bass is like an earthquake, and still no signs of the slightest distortion

the 5500 has just about the same sound as the 2300 but it has surround sound (and costs more... $259.99 to be exact)

rest of logitech speakers suck

Logitech Z-5500 THX Certified 5.1
those are the ones i was looking at. but i dont have the money for them now

ya, they def worth every penny tho

ok heres what im think of

case- Aerocool extremeengine ATX

mobo- XFX nForce 750a SLI

cpu- AMD quad core 9950

memory- 8GB Kingston Hyperx 1066mhz DDR2

vid card- 2 EVGA 9800 GTX+

power supply- OCZ 850 watt GameXstream

use my 500GB hardrive, monitor, keyboard and mouse, and speakers

let me know what you think

i want those video cards!!!


by the way all my shit came in.... i hooked everything up that i can, gotta wait til xmas for mobo and cpu (the heart of the fucking computer!!!) i hate santa, that fat fuck wont give me my shit til xmas!!!

i just need to sell the one ive got now and ill be all set to build this one

My computer

CPU- 2.4 quad

MEM- 2x 2048mb DDR2 1066Mhz and 2x 512mb DDR2 1066Mhz

Video- 512 DDR3 (ATI)

Monitor- LG, 24 inches, DVI (most have it), 1650x1050, 10000:1 color (most have a 2000:1), 2ms responce time.

Speakers- (Ill type this up later cause im too f***ing pissed cause i spent a half hour typing this up before, but when I posted it I was signed out. Like what the F***ing s*** that is bull-f***ing-s***.)

Other stuff- Basic mouse (though amazingly good for gaming), basic keyboard, webcam (only used for the mic)


S*** that happens- My ethernet though fast is so gay cause it keeps losing connection while playing (not the server fault). The realy shitty thig is that I ussualy lose connection right before I kill someone. (and then they kill me)

so somebody should buy my xps1330 laptop. it still has 3 years of warranty left

Here are my specs

Dell M1730 Laptop

T9300 2.5 GHz, 800 mhz FSB 6 mb l2 Cache
Dual 8800m GTX's, 512 mb each, overclocked to 600 core/900 mem/ 1500 shader
4GB 667 MHz DDR2
Sigmatel Hi-Def 2.0 Audio
17 inch 1920x1200 monitor
Built in Illuminated Keyboard
Built in Illuminated Speakers w/ customizable colors
Built in Illuminated Touchpad w/ customizable colors
Logitech Gaming LCD
Logitech MX400 Mouse
Portable Fan underneath Laptop for cooling
230 Watts power supply (All the laptop parts are pretty much downsized desktop parts, so they require less power)
320GB Seagate HDD 7200 RPM

buy my shit

lol Pie wat are the specs of your lap top and how much are you selling it for

its an xps 1330 with a 2.4 intel 4 Gb of ram Vista 320Gb HD i forget what the vid card is. but its still got 3 years of warranty and accidental damage. oh and its got the LED screen and 9 cell battery. new its like 2250. id like 1600 or so?

ok heres my plan. my dad says i need a laptop for school. but i dont need and xps or gaming laptop. so ill seel my xps and my desktop. ill buy a cheap dell laptop for school. then ill still have enough money to build my new desktop and have about 500 bucks left over. god im a genius. i do qualify for mensa. seriously. i do. so what im tryin to say here is somebody should buy my comps

sounds like a good plan pie.... but (key word here is "but") you sure you'll find someone to buy those off of you?

nope i have no idea if somebody will buy them. i was thinkin i could put them on ebay. or just complain enough until people feel sorry for me and buy my shit haha

what do you think about getting a NIC card? worthwhile or not? its 150 bucks and lowers your ping by about 20 or so.

Pie, your new comp should come with a NIC card built into the back of your system which handles a 10 meg/100 meg Fast Ethernet port. (possibly even gigE)

Dont waste your money. (unless i'm missin' somethin')

EDIT: By the way, I have the perfect avatar for you! It owns! (as long as the site accepts GIF file)

CPU: Inter E6600 @ 2.8

PSU: Thermaltake 600W

GPU: 8800 GTX

RAM: 2gig Kingston 800mhz

Speakers: none

Headset: Koss UR-40 (it's okay, but could be better)

Keyboard: piece of shit dell one

Mouse: also a POS dell one

Hard Drive: 320GB 7200



My second setup (the new one)

Case: Cooler Masters Cosmos

Mobo: Gibabyte X58

CPU: Inter i7 920 @ 3.2ghz (very awesome, but expensive)

PSU: Thermalake Toughpower 850W

GPU: 4870 X2

RAM: 6gig Kingston at 1333

Speakers: none

Headset: Sennheiser HD280

Keyboard: WolfKing Timberwolf

Mouse: Wolfking Trooper

Hard Drive: 500gig 7200 from Western Digital

it's score is a 5.2...is that any good? O.o

ASUS G50VT-X1 LAPTOP

Intel P8400 Montevina 2.26 Ghz 3mb cache (TDP 25 watts)
4GB 800Mhz Ram
320gb 7200RPM HD
512MB Nvidia 9800M video card with DDR 3 Ram.
15.6 LCD at 1366 x 768.
Intel Wireless-N
Windows Vista Premium 64 bits.

Altac Lansing speakers

PROS:
Sturdy built, QUIET!!!, quality speakers, top notch design, 9800 video card.

CONS:
Big power adapter, width may not allow this to be accomodated in a 15.4 in laptop bag. Some bloatware.

15.6"/7.2lbs screen/weight .


being my first lap top, it did not dissapoint me at all. i can easily play cod, guild wars, rome total war, and LOLTRO without any lag (lag on cod 4 when there are the damn high pingers). I bought it from bestbuy for $1300 and it came with all the microsoft office stuff, and like 2-3 months of norton (which works great). if ayone here says asus sucks....may God damn your sould. This lap top is by far the best i have ever played on.

my xps is nice haha buy it!!!!

That laptop is sweet, and at $1300 is an awesome deal. The only thing that I would want to upgrade there is the CPU to at least 2.4 considering that most games that come out now recommend a 2.2Ghz dual core processor, I like having a bit more, but that's just me. Either way that's a great laptop, and the big power adapter is because of the 9800M, the thing needs lots of juice to power it.

you guys put my computer to shame, compared to ur guys' comps mine is like a 1000 year old piece of shit lol. mines all stock lol
