While I'd love to have a Klipsch setup like Klaus for my puter, its just not gonna happen. Sharky Extreme had this in one of their writeups

and I found it for $59 here at Sams club. Picked up a pair of rear speaker stands for $30 and now I have 5.1 surround for the first time. [Big Grin]

Get home, set it up, and discover my onboard sound doesn't support rear/center...:\
Back to the store for a Creative Soundblaster card.

Sound is great, really totally new experience for me, both DC and BFV, adds a whole new level to gameplay. Really good sound for the price, music sounds excellent. Voice comm sounds good (played in a DC clan match as well [Smile]

This setup would be a worthy surround sound for a computer and a secondary home theater as well, I believe its got the adapter to hook it to ps2/xbox as well
