    Entry Level Audio System

    Yet to be determined. But I've got stuff coming in from Oliver Hellengone. Most should be in by the 6th. That plus a week or two to savor the whole 'connect widget A to slot B' experience (conducted under the disapproving, not to say admonishing, eye of my loving spouse) and there you have it...

    It is an extravagance. Actually, with what you can get computer-wise at Costco for ~$600 or so... every single component I'm getting for this build is an extravagance. (And utterly ridiculous. And fiscally stupid. And ...Oh God! Somebody stop me! It's high tech and shiny--I'VE GOT TO HAVE...

    Just ordered the Simplifi 5075B amplifier: http://www.simplifidigital.com/shopsimplifi/51-analog-input-media-center-amplifier-black-p-4.html ...to go with these speakers (previously mentioned): http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16882269004 ...for total price, delivered, of...

    So it is... But too late for me. It's listed for the same as I paid at Sundial & the NewEgg shipping is $1.44 more. Perhaps most importantly--mine is already on the way.

    Bought Energy Take 5 Pack for $120USD delivered. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16882269004 Apparently Klipsch is somehow connected with Energy (?). Anyway, $30 off with promo, free shipping, and good reviews--seemed like a good way to go. Still need cheap 5.1...

    Gave up on NewEgg. Ordered from Sundial Micro: SST-FT02-BW $245USD + $28.56 shipping = $273.55 Picked up by FedEx in CITY OF INDUSTRY, CA, Dec 28, 2009 17:09, on schedule for Dec 31 delivery. Sundial shows FT02's "IN STOCK" (incl. silver). Their price for non-windowed is $230.

    AC Pump - Eheim 1250 or not?

    Question has become moot... we open Xmas presents on Xmas eve and I now have in my possession an Eheim 1250. Your post is reassuring though. I also got the 3 Black Ice GT Stealth 280 Radiators, Tygon 1/2-3/4 tubing, and misc fittings that were on my list. I'm planning on building a plexi...

    AC Pump - Eheim 1250 or not?

    Thanks for your comment. The 655 was on my list, but it is 12v vice AC and there are conflicting accounts about its noise levels. http://www.crazypc.com/products/mcp655-b-9336B.html I am will reconsider my 110V requirement if there is a clearly better 12v option. I admit, I liked what you had...

    Entry Level Audio System

    Thank-you, nice post. Hugs all around. It is a shame I'm not smarter about the audio stuff, but I guess I wouldn't mind some spoon-feeding of the "Here's what I'd recommend. Here's why." type. It's all good, though.

    My goodness, it's very difficult to sound sincere when I thank you for the worthwhile information you've provided (Pioneer 519k, Energy, TSC, Polk...) when I make mention of the douche-bag extraneous snarky bullshit you've padded it with. Is this to be a flame war then? You know, belaboring...

    Entry Level Audio System

    So, for 5.1, in addition to whatever the "SupremeFX X-Fi Audio Card" that comes with the mobo provides (a DAC?), and dismissing the headset option, and recognizing that, besides gaming, I will be listening to some tunes once in a while, and watch a DVD once in a while, and in consideration of a...

    Entry Level Audio System

    Okay then... Let's say we're looking for the best gaming audio setup for ~$600. Could probably stretch that to $750 if there's a compelling reason to do so, but it has to cover *everything*. What parts am I looking at ...?

    AC Pump - Eheim 1250 or not?

    My next build will have Tygon 1/2"ID 3/4"OD tubing, 3 Black Ice GT Stealth 280 Radiators (yes, I know 2 would probably be overkill--don't care--still getting 3), an AC pump (vice 12V), to cool a Heatkiller Rev 3.0 754/939/AM2 CPU block and a Powercolor LCS AX5870 graphics card. Radiators &...

    Entry Level Audio System

    I've been poking around a little regarding the SupremeFX X-Fi audio card. Apparently it supports 7.1 surround. I friend has a 7.1 home theater system and I've watched a couple Blue Rays on it with the following conclusions: Kung Fu Panda is a really great high-end home theater experience. (No...
