EDIT: (I accedently hit enter!)
I finally got around to building my new computer, so what do you think?:
Asus A8N32-SLI Deluxe
Opty 175 w/SI-120
OCZ DDR500 EB (Inferion) 2x1gb
2xevga 7800GT's (for my SLI setup, finally got around to ordering them today)
X-fi Plat.
G5 and G15 Logitech mouse and speakers
X-530 Logitech speakers (I know there crap but thats what I got, a lot of money went into vid card setup)
TT Kandalf Case

I'm too lazy to post all the links, but I gather you know what everything is. I already ordered everything (half the stuff is at my house), so I cant change anything, so I just wanted to know what everyone thinks of it?
AND please, don't start flaming me for my choices!!! (I know were you live!!! 😉 )
 
Throw some Klipsch speakers in, THX. Four of 'em with the woofer.

Why have stunning video without stunning audio?

We remember Helen Keller because she was both deaf and blind, not one or the other.

Go all out!

How about the 5.1 Klipsch? (and not the GMX set)

Or if you really want to go all out, no need to stop with computer speakers. :evil:

Yup, thats right 😀 .

As for the Klipsch speakers, I can't afford $299 speakers, LIKE I SAID IN MY ORGINAL POST. The X-530's will surfice for now. I have sh!t speakers now, so the X-530 will be a nice upgrade.
Now, I have to ask a question. I have no idea were I'm going to put the rear speakers. My computer is on a wall, with nothing behind if for like 8 ft. So, any suggestions on were to put the rear channels?
 
The X-530's are decent speakers, but I don't see how you justified the expense of the X-Fi platinum if you are only using those speakers. An Audigy2 Value would have been just fine.
 
Get that thing together and then let us know how it runs. Looking forward to the bragging rights after setup.

That might take a while. I said I ORDERED everything, not got everthing, so at least I ordered it. Mobo hasn't even shipped yet, I don't even have an ETA on the mobo, the best I got was "PROBABLY before the end of the year". Some answer right?
The RAM should get here soon, but the ETA was 12/9, but there was a delay apparently in getting it so it should ship pretty soon.

After I take into account ALL of that, it probably won't get built till after christmas (if I'm lucky, maby right before), but I can't exactly spend Christmas assembling a computer right? I have to make time for family, not build a computer which could wait till the next day.

When I finally do get it setup, i'll probably start another thread on how the performance is. And the reason I got the x-fi is I wanted a good sound card now, for good speakers later, when I can afford them.
 
I do know about family time and how that goes. Then there is always the spouse's wish. "Honey, put the kid's toys and mine together before you put your's together." Heh heh. Anyway, I hope you get it by Christmas day. Make a nice little Christmas gift for sure.
 
It'll make a nice Christmas gift, in more than one place

"Hi honey, just got my new computer."
"oh, thats nice, were's my gift(s)"
"Oh, you don't get any, had to drain the bank account to afford all MY stuff"
