Interesting setup, mind you I'm not liking those logitech speakers. You should look at separates, or if you want the best value, DIY.

Not this "courtesy" forum nonsense that you are trying to push. This is a computer hardware discussion forum, I know all of you want to put every single thread into the same thread. But lets face reality, thats not how things should be, that is not how things work.

I want a lengthy thread, not some *everything glomped together* thread that will not get me anywhere near the amount of response or opinions/comments I require in order to further progress my build.

So stop posting "OMG you arent posting in the thread I want you to post in, even though its not in the rules HOW DARE YOU" stuff. It is nothing but trolling, Thank you~

Actually, I did, it is in my first post, asking for comments and opinions on it. *Sigh*

Now write a comment or opinion on the first post about the content, or... go somewhere else please.

Lulz ikr, but course blowing $300-400 for sony/canon bridge cam will setback the tc for the light show!

I never ran into a problem with my Logitech Z5500d speakers lol, I'm surprised you can see them though o.o

While I wouldn't find them ideal, considering you already own them it should suffice. Still if you're looking for improvements you may consider investing in a pair of quality open back headphones. The only reason you may not want open back is if you plan on using them out of the house (require sound isolation) or are a serious basshead. If you want detail and clarity in your media a good pair can make a world of a difference.

It all comes down to budget, but I would personally recommend the AKG K701 or K702 (same headphone as K701, only a different colour and has a detatchable cable). They usually go for close to $250.

A headphone amplifier and DAC would also be recommended (something like an Audio-gd NFB-12 or Zero DAC ~$150-$200).

Please teach me sifu I can never wrap my head around liking these phones (k701) gladly is my siblings and not mines. I think they are sonically too mature for my borderline basshead ears. Perhaps the sound is too true and neutral for me. What genre or artists do you recommend to change my outlook?

@ tc, the onkyos htib are a sick bunch for home theatre stuff, that I must admit from hearing them long ago at my relatives.

If the sound system is a Z-5500... it rocks for the price. I have that system... and seriously, for it's price/performance I haven't seen anything better for 5.1 sounds. I don't like to compare to headphones... it's just a different world.

To the OP... looks cool... but hey, it's a bit nerdy hahaha lol, no offence.

He just hates Logitech. I've had a Z-5500 system for about 7 years. Still working perfectly, and I regard them as one of my best IT purchases.

XD well I try to be as nerdy as possible apparently. I am a computer technician, I also like star trek, anime, make StarShip models and paint figures, make circuit boards @__@ and game a lot.

The lights are a bit much, for me. And all the tiny screens look like screens for the sake of screens...C_Rule

Nono, I use every single one. Having big monitors would mean hiding the back shelf behind the monitors. Video,Music/Chats, PC stats and other th ings go on the top monitors.

The lights can also be static, a color of your choice, dimmed or brightened :3

A bit much for Johnf111, Johnf111 settles for dual monitors and doesn't care to add any more. All those screens and effects just scream "I have more money than sense!" but if you do in fact use them then fair enough... Still this is a brag thread and Johnf111 disapproves of such threads.

If you can't show off what you made, then no one would show off anything, no one would be bothered to make anything artistic. The Gray youtube channels come to mind... People put works of art on walls, are those brag walls? Should they be shunned and we all pretend they are non-existent because someone may or may not become jealous or spiteful?

I assure you, I would not be able to create this setup without sense, and my bank account is fine, thank you for the concern though :P

and I disapprove of your definition of hardcore gamer, which looks like money spending based on just owning every console. a hardcore gamer consists of someone who challenges themselves in games, in multiple genres, and is not afraid to take on the toughest things the game can offer. This doesn't mean they always play super hard games, it just means they have a tendency to do so.

But thank you for your opinion :3

I love it. XD How much did the light show set up cost you?ShadowDeathX

Hmm perhaps around $100s, excluding the cost of any tools/hardware required for soldering. XD

I made an observation that it could be more money than sense which was directly opposed by my acknowledgement that if you did make use of it all then fair play, also why else would you post the video if it wasn't bragging? And my signature is mostly a SW definition of "Hardcore gamer" as in that place only CoD and the HD twins are considered Hardcore and with all the fanboyism i decided to put something in my sig that opposed both mindsets but wasn't necessarily true, just for the sake of it. :P

Regardless if you are a computer technician and spend most of your life infront of a computer, you want a lot of monitors! especially if you are a multitasker with some kind of ADD ;o

Well I like to get expensive computer parts and put them inside my cereal box cases to save money. Id recommend going with a lucky charms cereal box, seems to last longer and provide better cable management.

It really makes things easier, I find one monitor severely limiting. Some people will say "I'll just buy a giant monitor" well that is very costly, and it doesn't need to be.
