You kinda sound like a geek ^^

I disagree with this. With exceptions though. In general I think general HT and stereo stuff is not as good as the ProMedia's (and other near feild speakers for that matter) for computer use. At least in my case. I (and probably most computer users) sit pretty close to the speakers. And thats what they are designed for. I have some pretty snazzy equipment in my HT and while a single speaker from it costs more then my entire computer I would not want to use them as speakers for my computer. Heck, on my main system I have speaker cable that costs more then the ProMedias, but I still prefer the ProMedias for comp use.

However when people want to use their comps for movies with surround and they are sitting further away then I think hooking up normal HT or stereo components can make sense.

But for general computer usage (games and MP3s in my case) I think the ProMedias (and other high quality computer or near feild speakers) will work much better then HT or general stereo stuff.

Audigy 1 and Klipsch v2.400, but that may change soon.
