I am going to try to make a plexiglass door for the side of my case i do not feel it will be that hard so i will most likely get some Cold Cathodes, Do they sell el cabel there?

sorry but unlike a lot of people i like to edit my posts instead of uping my post count.

So right now i have no need for a sweet soundcard as i have crappy speakers. so unless i can get a good deal on a nice set of speakers then probably not plus ive heard the sound is quite good from the buiilt in

Buy a new soundcard or save it for a nice set of 4.1 speakers.

Go with speakers,you can buy 4.1 or 5.1 depending on which brands you go for.

good set of speakers?

 

[Mem]

The Logitech z560 are out of your price range so that leaves z540 (4.1 speakers),I think they are about $60 in US,and the Creative Inspire 5300 (5.1) for around $80-90 are good value for money & sound good.

It really all depends on if you want 2.1,4.1 or 5.1 speakers.

 

[MikeMike]

which of those two sound better for a mix of games(75%) ALternative/semi-rap(25%) and they both leave money for my COld Cathoe wahoo and maybe a few quiet case fans for my moding project

That`s a very hard question to answer since sound quality is always subjective and I`ve not heard the z540 speakers,Creative Inspire 5300 wise I know a lot about them since I`m using them at the moment, for gaming they are very good,music wise they are ok when you consider the price,there are better speakers for music but you have to pay more.You should really hear the speakers with your own ears,since there are many factors like bass output,sound quality,loudness which only you can really decide on.

Why not just send them the $102 and say, "Surprise me!" 🙂

why $102? and not $100? i never told myself that when im going to buy a shirt, i am going to spend exactly $37, and not $40. just curious? 🙂

How about a burner? You don't have one?

Lite-on 48x is only $85, TEAC 40x is $85, Plextor 40x is $116 minus a $20 rebate.

Wow, an $80 burner is a luxury now! I remember when I spent $250 on a 2x burner, now $80 is to much for a 48x! phew, unbelieveable.
