The Onkyo HTS in a box setup is a good deal:

I've got an older model, and it's awesome, especially for the price. I considered several others and TWW recommended the Onkyo. Thanks TWW

x-fi sound card and pc gaming headset/mic?

8/8/2006 2:52:54 AM

if this is best bang for the buck, forget the x-fi and get either a chaintech 7.1 envy24 or a soundblaster live 5.1 and softmod it to an audigy 2 (they all use the same sound processor)

8/8/2006 3:35:58 AM

^^^^

oh, he got it before it expired because i'm the one who used my paypal account to get it for him ...i figure add in a nice graphics card for about $140, possibly trade up for a 19" LCD (~$40 after selling 17"), and the price is even better
