$49.99 after rebate + shipping
These things go for about 150-125 at NewEgg and still retail for 200 bucks. If you are looking for a good set of 5.1 speakers for you computer/console, check these out.

I normally am too, but not when IGN is saying these are steal for under 200 bucks and I am getting them for a 1/4 of that. 10/1/2007 2:30:03 PM

Blackdog's right. It's a good deal.

These are higher rated than the brand new Logitech G51's that are going for $200-150. You wont find better speakers for under 130 bucks, if even at that price. This truly is a steal, even though they are 4 years old. Speakers are not something that have huge changes over time. A high end floor standing speaker from the 70's will still sound superb even when compared to modern floor standing speakers. Only a audiophile would be able to distinguish much difference. It's all about quality of build, which these do have.

Comparing 2.0 stereo to THX certified 5.1 is a joke if you are a gamer or watch movies. 10/1/2007 2:57:02 PM

24 shipping is cheap if you consider the dimensions and weight of that box. The damn sub weighs at least 10lbs by itself. 10/1/2007 3:19:59 PM

clubIT had them with free shipping last week...so you're really a dumbass for doing it NOW...i was kind of hoping BlackDog had gone away forever 10/1/2007 3:21:36 PM

BlackDog All American 15654 Posts user info edit post |
I'm really a dumbass considering NewEgg has them for $159 after shipping and I paid less than $80. 10/1/2007 3:24:50 PM

Grandmaster All American 10829 Posts user info edit post |
I didn't see a link for free shipping. I did find the deal when the shipping was 19.99 though. 10/1/2007 3:33:51 PM

They probably didn't have the $20 ClubIT rebate when the shipping was free. 10/1/2007 3:38:18 PM

are they brand new or refurbished? "retail" suggests brand new i GUESS...but the reason i ask is because ebay has refurbished ones for about $80 with shipping
i was gonna see what they were going for on ebay so i could buy like 10 of them...doesnt look like they're going for too much more but again, they're refurbished

NC86 All American 9134 Posts user info edit post |
rebates usually dont work like that. Its what time they recieve it or what time sent mail was clocked at.
dont know about this one though, but usually with good rebates, this is always the case 10/26/2007 1:36:33 AM

BlackDog All American 15654 Posts user info edit post |
I just sent this rebate in today, you have a month from the date of purchase to get it in, you just have to purchase it by Oct 31. 10/26/2007 1:37:42 AM

@ evan: Yes, these will probably blow your current speakers out of the water.
If you want a base-level comparison of how your speakers sound compared to the other speakers, go into the bookstore's computer section and turn up the speakers on our mac pro while the screensaver is running. Plays some kind of carribean/latin/whatever music... OK now go over to our IBM X6x tablet with the Z-2300's on it and play something on that. Basically, the creature speakers aren't bad, but they are far overpriced for what they are. Considering these are about $74 after rebate, you can't go wrong.
I just ordered a set to replace my Z3's that I bought a while ago. My bro gets my old Z3's... Heh I figure he'll be happy about that.
I like this thread, 'cause it's made me purchase my first 5.1 set of speakers that I've owned (for my computer). 10/26/2007 2:41:35 AM
