A new rig, a new sig!

**Oero** · 01-05-2002, 11:09 AM

Well I completed assembly of my new rig thanks to these forums. I would have liked to have taken everything from the Sharky guides but the November one was too old. And a December one never happened

But thanks to everyone here that asks about this, critiques that and whines about those I assembled (IMO) a well thought out system. And of course, everything was from newegg.com (cept the drive, thought I was keeping the old one.)

Odd thing is I've been reading Sharkyextreme for like two years and just only recently visited the forums. My loss, this is a great place. You all really help others out and I just wanted to say thanks!!

Nice rig

For your speaker upgrade, consider the Logitech Z560s..only 4.1, but they're about the best price/performance ratio you'll find anywhere.

Blew out my sig with that edit. Almost got a logitech 4.1, but think I'll wait it out and get something nice - well $100 nice

It's not as nice looking as the MSI RU one, with its red PCB. The Gainward has a red PCB and man it looks hot! Functionally the board is great! I haven't had much time to fiddle with settings but from what I've seen there's more than enough to get me in trouble

I almost got some of the speakers that you show - what do you think of them? This place is nearby me and they have them for $60. They had some Altec's too for about that price.
