I've seen several questions on z-5300 / z-5500 stands lately. Are yours just zip tied to some regular small satellite speaker stands?

Yup, my side speakers are zip tied onto these. They aren't awfully stable, but luckily the Logitech speakers are built very well and nothing will happen if they fall over on carpet. A hard floor probably wouldn't be good though. I actually use two zip ties per satellite because in the past I've discovered that when the stands tip over with only one zip tie, that zip tie would always snap.

Wow, what a kickass dad!

NERD Story:

I was wondering why my CPU normal temps were going up (X2 3800+, 2.4ghz), usually they idle around 38c, but i noticed they were idling about 45c instead. I take off the clear CPU fan (see above) and there was this BLANKET of dust that prohibited airflow probably 90%.

After removal of blanket, idle temps sunk down to 34c :D

P.S. - Comp is (almost) completely silent, most fans are attached to a fanbus. I'd rate my PC < 23dBa. Also, each hard disk and optical drive are on its own channel. (Primary master - 40gb, Secondary Master - Black DVD-RW, SATA0 - 400gb, SATA2 - 120gb, USB (ghetto hookup) - Beige DVD-RW)

Neat looking but you aren't worried about EM radiation with that open setup?
