I donno lol
Yeah don't waste 250 squid just for one frigging game. Spend the money on booze, drugs, games and get something nice for a girl or something. Or order more food from that US importers site. Yeah....the last one.

I get drunk about once every 2 weeks, in a house, and only costs about £6.Mekstizzle wrote:

Only do weed, and thats cheap.
Don't want any new games, except Crysis... but need card.
Girls i like at the moment will go with me without needing anything, so im sorted aswell.
Im gonna buy lots of shit of that site when i get my next £50 next friday.
Oke, buy the 8800GTS G92, its a great card but your money can be spend smarter.

Will my sound card be fine for them.
Nothing... maybe a new monitor or something... not parts.

Yes. Make sure you connect them digitally (optical or coax - doesn't matter which).White-Fusion wrote:

My Z-5400s are one of the best buys I've ever made, great for watching films (it's a shame you never see them around anymore, because they're just as nice as the Z-5500s but just a little less powerful - and you don't need all the power they've got anyway).
If you've got your PC hooked upto a big LCD or projector (or maybe get one of them, but you'd be hard pressed to find one for under £400) then you'll get the most benefit. AC3 and DTS encoded films sound fantastic.

They are color coordinated.
No they aren't._NL_Lt.EngineerFox wrote:

Not the digital ones at any rate - which are the ones you MUST use. Using analog connectors when you have the option of digital ones is foolish and will prevent you using many digital only audio formats (AC3 and DTS).
Only a complete mug would use the colour coded 6 channel direct connectors.

Optical 1 is grey. Optical 2 is grey. Coaxial is grey.
Great colour coding.
In fact for an X-Fi, he'll need to use Coax, since there is no optical out (though the onboard sound has an optical connector). The Coax SPDIF port on the back of an X-Fi is only 3.5mm, so an adapter will be essential (available at Maplin, RS, Farnells etc. for about 50p).

I would highly suggest getting a second 150GB Raptor and putting it in RAID 0. Having just one Raptor is a waste of money because the performance gain is not even noticable compared to a 7200RPM HDD. But if you put 2 10000RPM HDDs together you will get the full performance.
That's what I did with my 74GB Raptor.
Just my 2 cents

Coaxil, its better than an optical cable anyways.White-Fusion wrote:

Are you familiar with a 3.5mm line audio jack? The sort you get for walkman headphones and suchlike (which will fit the flexijack port on the back of the X-Fi, the port that isn't colour coded).White-Fusion wrote:

Are you familiar with a Coax RCA cable? As in the three cables you often plug into the front of TVs, one yellow (video), one white and one red (both audio channels) - but only a single one of those cables.
Bad idea. RAID decreases access times. The biggest benefit a Raptor has is low access times. If you want fast data transfer rates you use RAID, but that is far more practical with cheaper higher capacity drives.ceslayer23 wrote:

It's not better. If anything it's not as good, but the difference is so minuscule it's not worth worrying about. But that won't go straight in his X-Fi, he needs a little adapter so it'll fit.Bell wrote:

He can't use optical (not through his X-Fi at least).

Yeah theres a Green, Pink and Black set going into back of Sound card from the Sub woofer on my current surround sound. And the one that is lit up has my mic in it.Bertster7 wrote:
