There is a good few differences between me and being a geek...

-I get out way more than some geeks in my school
-I've got a hotter g/f than any geeks I know
-I only know alot about computers because if the era we live in.

-->no offense meant to any1, btw.

Oh, wait, I just found out that the Digitheatre DTS doesn't do 5 channel gaming.

He should get the ANALOG version, the Digitheatre LC, and make sure that he gets the program "WinDVD", so he can watch DVD's in DTS and Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound.

Also, since you would have the Sirocco Pro's for music and mixing, you wouldn't need a DVD/Game speaker for that purpose.... you could forgo music listening with, say.... the Klipsch ProMedia 5.1 and a Promedia DD-5.1, cause you'll have a better music system anyway....

btw, the logitech keyboard and optical mouse combo is *THE SINGLE* best wireless combo... there isn't voice activated stuff out, I believe.

Also, why don't we make it marginally more interesting by staying out of the "Home Theater" sector... as, with that, you have basically infinite display options, and infinite sound options, and there is no real "best". With stuff that's made for computers, you DO have a "best".

Oh, and with headphones, as long as you don't start talking about Electrostatic ones, yea, there is mostly a "best" too...

In other words, *I* would use the 24" Widescreen Trinitron Sony FW900 CRT monitor ($2000), and I would use the Sirocco Pro's ($900) for monitoring, and the Klipsch ProMedia 5.1 ($400) for games and DVD's...

and, of course.... *cradles his Beyerdynamic DT831's ($260) happily* my headphones for monitoring...

But, with those, you'll need a warm sounding amp... so....

I would use THIS one (cause it has two inputs; plug both sound cards in at once!)

And, of course, I'd need some DVD headphones, so I would use the Audio Technica ATH-W2002...

I'd have whacked DDR333 Ram inside myself and then overclocked the FSB up from 266 (266DDR) up to 340 or so and forced the Cas latency to 2 as well.

Stick in a Geforce 4 128mb DDR600 card on AGPx8 Bus (w00t) and OC that to 670 or so and see the thing smoke Q3 in 1600x1200x32 in 350FPS heh heh

I liked the choice of soundcards though LOL!!

Hmmm not a bad idea.

Next we should add a chair that you can use as a toilet... and hire a butler to prepare us food. Then we would never have to get up!
