He must be fairly tall if that monitor is adjusted for eye-level.

You should be asking why those speakers are in front of him...

He should angle the speakers outward to bounce off the walls and he could get somewhat of a surround effect with the speakers in the front. Bose and Altec Lansing makes surround speakers off that principle. I think it's called dipole speakers. Don't quote me on that though.

dipole speakers are mainly used as surrounds today to provide a more "diffuse" surround effect to those who prefer it. You are right that angling them out would likely be a bit better...however it depends how big that room is. The directions of the reflections would probably not be very noticeable unless its a closet ;)

Umm, why are the speakers up so high and what is the point of having your surround sound speakers up front?

Standard Dell monitors? No Ultrasharp?

I would be ashamed.

Poor college student and not afraid to admit it. I worked hard and got good deals to get what I have and I'm glad to show it off.

Believe me when I say you didn't get a hot deal on that Dell printer. We had at work (given to us for free from Dell) and its either breaking down or the print out comes out all smudged due to the horrible design of the toner cartridges.
