Computer Setup

Err, sorry RES users for the one-line descriptions....although I maintain that it's a shortcoming of RES :P

I've stuck with Silverstone PSU's for the passed seven years and recently used one of their HTPC cases for my XBMC box. It's just beautiful. PSU or sexy/functional case? Silverstone.

I haven't yet used any Silverstone PSU...currently using a Thermaltake Toughpower 850W in the fileserver, and a PC Power & Cooling 750W in my desktop.

What case is that? RV02?

Already in the image descriptions in the coolcomputersetups album, but it's the Silverstone Fortress FT02, assuming you're talking about the desktop. The fileserver is in a Silverstone Grandia GD08.

Already in the image descriptions in the coolcomputersetups album, but they're Alesis "M1Active 520 USB" active monitors.

How do you like them?

I love them. I've never listened to any competitors (pairs of active/passive monitors for around $200), but I've got nothing but great things to say about these. Big selling point for me was they have a USB input in additional to conventional 1/4" TRS inputs, with their own onboard DAC. Sure, it's not as good as a standalone DAC with an amp and passive monitors, but that also costs a lot more, and the sound quality is still excellent with these. The improvement when using my HD555s through the monitors instead of through the onboad sound on my motherboard was incredible.

I'm looking for monitors in the 300-400$ range and I was thinking about the Audioengine A5+, thanks.

Where can I find said keyboard?

Are you covering the deskpad logo with your keyboard or did you manage to get it off?
