Sorry to revive a dead-ish thread, but just in case anyone is curious (or searches for this at a later date), I just upgraded my gaming PC equipped with an EVGA GTX 780 and it worked great (after I found my displayport -> mini displayport adapter).

Hey folks, Rather than revive this thread: http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?p=1039781803 ... is anyone by chance using a modern gaming card 780/7990/etc with the old 2010-ish iMacs with displayport input? Thanks, Mike

Is anyone talking about these guys yet? http://www.engadget.com/2010/09/02/amd-makes-eyefinity-easier-with-line-of-budget-minded-active-dis/ I have no idea if this applies at all (particularly to non-ati/non-eyefinity cards), or if it's of no help whatsoever. Leaving it to you smarter...

Thanks folks! @Zink: eBay rules supreme. They weren't the cheapest things ever (Though a bargain at $20/ea if you ask me), but I just searched until I found someone selling more than qty 1 of the same stand (so I'd get a matching pair without much trouble on my end).

Thanks for the reaction! :) They're from 17" G5 iMacs... picked them up on ebay. I chopped the tops, drilled and tapped, and mounted hardware store aluminum flat stock. The speakers are held on with 3m command double stick tape.

whoops, double post

So the headset with the boom mic still wasn't loud enough... I gave up and put the little onboard sound card in (maximus formula) and used the mic input from there. It allowed me a 30+ mic boost and I can practically whisper into my zalman clip on mic at chest level and it's loud and clear...

Are you using a desktop/clip-on mic? I have this problem with the prelude and vista 64 using a zalman clip-on. But when I hold the mic to my mouth it's perfectly loud. I'm planning on frankensteining the mic off a headset on to my cans to get the mic close to my mouth, but I just got the...

Yes, you can pass through to the sub via speaker-level in/outs (assuming it's a typical standalone subwoofer with plate amp). This thread also touches on the topic: http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1288939

Doesn't that mean that the $61 shipping price doesn't apply to you? Continental US = Contiguous 48, I believe. Hopefully I'm misunderstanding. -mike

Keep in mind if you do that, you will either have to control volume at your source (PC?), or adjust the t-amp knob AND the sub gain. Alternatively, you can use the speaker level in/out on the sub and pass through to the bookshelf speakers, which may or may not meet your SQ requirements.

Are you sitting on a raised platform?
