    Creative Soundblaster Audigy
    D-Link DFE-530TX 10/100
    LG 16x/48x
    Samsung 700NF 17"
    Logitech Z340
    Windows XP Home
    That right there looks great. The reason people were saying stuff about IBM is because they had a high failure rate with the 75GXP and they recently got out of the harddrive making business, but I personally have an IBM drive and am happy so far.

    Get the 210D's with it rather than the 510D's if you can find them for a reasonable price.

    I'm guessing you live in Europe? If so, you should be able to find the 210D's fairly easily. Good luck.

    The 210/510D's are both digital speakers, and really sing if conjoined with a good digital sound card.

    Yes, I live in Europe. But I have had no luck finding those 2.1 speakers from Creative, I can't seem to find many of the newer 2.1 setups from Creative, those slim versions.
