Logitech headphones with microphone?
Im keen to know what logitech headphone and microphone you’ve got kraizen.
I bought a ClearChat Pro USB last year and it lasted for only 8 months. The headphones still work but the microphone just gave up one day and stopped functioning so i replaced it with a ClearChat Comfort USB.
I was reluctant to buy another Logitech headphone with mic but decided to give logitech another go.

Zero
That was a lot of zeros! Do you have a driver for your keyboard for o=0, or do you just use the 0 key?

Speakers and microphone....
These are the 5.1 speakers that I have,

I’ve always found USB headsets to be a little buggy, so I settled for these headhpones, available at most Harver Norman’s and other technology retailers:

3.5 mm Audio Jacks ftw :)
I’m into my second pair however, the cords have a nasty habit of finding themselves crushed under my computer chair :) However, the audio quality is decent, and the microphone hasnt given me any problems as of yet. Nice and cheap, easily replaceable in event of cord damage. Love them. Also quite comfortable if you like playing games (or for some listening to pr0n haha) using headphones. I use my speakers most of the time ;)
The wave keyboard is pretty good as well, once you get used to the larger keys, you fall in love with it :)

Those speakers looking lethal and remind me of Wall E!
Why so much for a MB?
I have a personal limit of 150 for a MB and even then I try to always script through on <120. But I would like to know what inspires others to spend so much of their PC upgrade on a MB?

Await your PM Kraizen
The best part of the Asus
The best part of the Asus P6T Deluxe V2 is that the motherboard has been improved substantially in terms of capacity to overclock. It’s the best midrange motherboard for overclocking. Capable of 2 way 16x PCI-E 2.0 , and with room for water cooling later on.
The reason I ordered the D stepping version of the i7 920 is because of the improved overclocking headroom.
This said, the 920 D stepping can be overclocked to 3.6 Ghz on !AIR!. Awesome :) I only upgrade once every five years, so when I get something, I make sure that it will last the long haul. When I finally get a second GTX280, I should be able to run crysis on full graphics 8x AA and AF, Maybe even 2x Temporal AA, with a framerate of 30+.
I eventually plan that by the end of next year, I will be running 4.0 Ghz with watercooling, two GTX280’s in SLI, 6 GB of 2000 Mhz DDR3.
This motherboard will prove up to the task :)
As more games come out that properly support multi-core processors, spending the money now for a capable system, rather than going for a Q or E based processor, wil prove cost effective in the long run. There are certainly cheaper motherboards, but there are definiately more expensive ones as well. The P6T Deluxe V2 is basically a high end board with a mid range pricetag. Gotta love it :)
I did a LOT of research before I ordered the parts, and am confident of exceptional results.
I will post benchmarks when I finally get all the parts xD
And then do a review on the system :)
Going to give my old PC to my girlfriend muahahaha :)
As for the the 19inch monitor, I’m using a lot of parts that I already have… so I’m planning to get a better monitor next year. 19 inch is playable ftw ;)
CRT still c00l
yes 19” CRT d0es r0ck, I’m still using mine :P
Will upgrade s00n th0
