    hello, guys im deciding on which set of speakers to buy, the budget is $200AU, my logitech ls21 aint cutting it (didnt expect much from a $39 2.1 tho xD), from what ive looked around theres the logitech z-2300 2.1($175AU) and the logitech x-540 5.1($139AU), which one should i get? ive heard the z-2300 is awesome but is it worth the price difference from the x-540?

    also, is there a huge speed difference between the WD3200-BEVT and the WD5000-BEVT? and i was planning to keep this laptop for 2 years but would it be better to upgrade the cpu and hard drive next year and keep it for maybe another 1 year or 2? or should i just stick with what ive got and just get a new one next year?

    Get the Z-2300. The sheer power and sound quality way more than compensates for the X-540's advantage of more speakers. The X-540 is a little underwhelming, especially in the subwoofer. The Z-2300 will simply blow you away.
