    I really like that setup, do you just swap a cable to switch betwen the PS3 and the notebook feed to the external monitor?

    You are making me rationalise buying a PS3 lol!

    Ugh, only if you like repetitive, cheaply and poorly made arcade games designed to rip off the average casual gamer that doesn't know any better. PS3 is worth buying for Blu-ray alone, let alone some of the great games it has.

    Anyway, great setup Alexyim! The speakers really do like nice. Wish I could keep my computer area that clean :(

    Thanks for the opinion, but the only problem i have with this set up is i cant use the speakers for the ps3. I mean it takes some procedures for me to switch the cable.

    lol but QFT. Bose makes decent systems with really tiny satelites. However they are all overpriced and there are much better alternatives.

    Well, Bose is over-hyped and over-priced. They really aren't that great of speakers for the price. :) Not to say they are the worst speakers ever, but they are over-priced.

    Those do like nice however. :)

    Thanks :)

    It's a made in U.S "Fat" Fender stratocaster. It's called fat because it has 2 single coil pickups, with a humbucker at the bridge.

    Bullseye! .. PS3 is the best buy coz it has Blue-Ray bundled with best Gaming console & since Blue-ray VS HD-DVD was is Over.. Go for PS3

    I was very impressed with Wii ..its actually very innovative.. only one big problem .. its not High Definition.

    *still off topic*

    PS3 is a cheap blue-ray player. Other than that the 360 trumps it in games, so for gaming go 360, HD content go PS3.

    I like my Wii and the games it has to offer, but horrible 3rd party support (aka gimmicky, cheaply made games) is crippling the console.

    I assure you that it isn't actually an eMachines... it's just the case. Back when I built this computer, I had a beige monitor so I chose a beige case. When I bought the ViewSonic, I robbed the eMachines of it's case so everything would match.

    Honest.

    :D
