    If those are Creative SBS250 speakers, then I too have the same speakers. They work pretty good for a regular old set of speakers. Definately not as good sounding as my component stereo though.

    Heh heh. Yeah, those are the Creative ones. I've had those things forever. They work and sound great, though. I've thought about replacing them recently, since it's pretty much the only computer component I haven't. :cool:

    My HP laptop. Still going strong after 1 year! Next laptop would probably be a ThinkPad or a Voodoo. I'm starting to not like curves on a laptop.

    from experience with Voodoo, dont buy from them.
    Get a Lenovo instead trust me.
    If you would like to talk about personal experiences with them as a company PM me.

    Thanks Cin' and gonwk,

    Took me a while to piece it all together, just need to tidy up the cables :(

    Everything runs off the lappie, big screen is brill for HD movies off the harddrive.

    Hmmm i'd like larger speakers but space I don't have, although there is a powered subwoofer the size of a small fridge squeezed behind the desk (my neighbours hate me... :cool: )

    It's great to see what others have as their systems, some really nice ones in this thread

    Hi Lucino,

    1) Movies off the HD ... hmmm! You can be a good source to bounce ideas off.:wink:

    2) So, you are the pesky neighbor with adjoining room next to my master bedroom ... playing Acid Rock at 3:00AM in the morning. :D

    You can't increase the actual fan speed on any of the fans in my case. I've tried everything. Plus, the extremely loud fan i have going on when gaming, is drowned out by the game volume and music. So it works.. Lol..

    It works not really effectively because the air vent of the macbook pro is on the back, not underneath like other laptops, but the angle is ok :p

    Hey Nox..what else do you want to do with your set-up? And yeah *wires* :eek: ....I had several hanging and it looked like a huge *spiderweb*!! :rolleyes:

    I didn't want to use any plastic tubing, plastic locking ties, or anything like that..so I simply took a silk type *scarf* of mine and wrapped it around the cords tightly! It actually turned out alright LOL :)

    Thanks, I like the setup also! ;)
