Wow

XFX PVT80GGHD4 GeForce 8800GTS 320MB 320-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card

Pros: Awesome card. Upgraded from a 7300 GS, so the difference was astronomical. Had a tricky time getting the card to fit in my A8N-SLI Deluxe mobo, but it is doable. Runs HL2 and Tiberium Wars like they're its job. Haven't tested it further with any other games but I can imagine that it does a wonderful job maxing out the graphics and resolutions with still high fps.

Cons: -Runs hot -HUGE!

Overall Review: Don't use the CD to install the drivers. Go to the XFX or Nvidia website and get the latest ones. Don't even bother getting the 640mb unless you want to play at unnecessary resolutions. I play smooth at 1680x1050 wide screen.

Awesome speakers!

Pros: Loud and easy to hook up. Subwoofer will ROCK your house! Barely even hit 2 lights on the controller and your windows are already shuddering. Movies sound amazing in 5.1 surround. You will not want to go to the movie theater after experiencing these bad boys. THX certified. Games and music are enhanced as well.

Cons: Absolutely nothing. If anything, the left and right back speakers and the remote are not wireless like this set's successor, the Z-5500.

Overall Review: I recommend getting a nice sound card for these babies. Although on-board or a cheap sound card will do these speakers good, a card such as the Sound Blaster X-Fi will unleash audio-goodness. My SB Fatal1ty rocks with these speakers and vice versa. Mine set was not purchased through Newegg, however it was purchased on e Bay from a refurb-seller. My set is refurbished and I have not seen (or heard) anything less than perfect. This price listed is cheaper than what I paid!!!
