    I'm doing a budget rebuilding with a C2Duo E6300 and I want to keep my case clean with a modular PSU. Whats is your take on modular PSU? Are they really significantly less efficient? Any recommendations for something in the $40-$65 range? Quiet is always good.

    Using Logitech Z-5500 w/ X-Fi or Audigy 2zs

    I just purchased myself a set of Logitech's Z-5500s. I read on a different forum, that the 5500 has internal sound processing capabilities for the Dolby Digital and DTS and thus, using a high end card such as X-Fi is pointless because the speaker system's hardware will work as a soundcard on...
