Adder Technology Power cable

Advantages: Pleasant sound for money, subtle styling, 5.1
Disadvantages: No mic input on remote, no individual control of speakers

...I recently bought these speakers to replace my 4.1s that I have owned for a number of years now. The front speakers on my old set were suffering from the abuse they have received, and I felt it was time to upgrade a little. When the box arrived, it was the size I expected for a 5.1 speaker set, although it was a plain cardboard box. This would appear to be OEM packaging, but it served the purpose well. A tray housed the 5 satelite speakers, and the sub had it's own polystyrene compartment. In addition to the speakers, you get the wired remote, and audio cable for connecting to your sound card, and the power supply. A simple installation diagram explains which cables to connect where for those unfamiliar with speaker setups. The speakers are as follows: 1 x 22w Sub-woofer 1 x 18w centre channel 4 x 8w satelite Operating frequency... Read review

Advantages: Affordable, Good Sound Quality
Disadvantages: Not very attractive looking, So-so bass

...' need to reach down to your computer when you want to use your headphones. It also has a proprietay M-port which is pretty useless unless you have one of Creative's Mp3 players. What you do with it is that you could directly connect a Creative MP3 player to it without any messy cables. I dont' have a compatible MP3 player, so I haven't had a chance to test this feature out. They have a pleasantly simple look. The metal stands and the front grills are removable to suit your taste. Setup was straight forward, with all the cables colour coded so anybody could do it in a few minutes. The cables that came with the speakers are 2m long, so it's more than enough for most computer tables. All connections go to the back of the subwoofer, which is usually kept underneath the table, so you won't notice much cable clutter. This is an excellent... Read review

Advantages: still good for games, cheap, double power
Disadvantages: old graphics card

...The creative labs Voodoo 12Mb is the top of the range voodoo 2. What can i say about it. I am using it to play games such as unreal tournament, Quake 3, halflife, Deus Ex etc. I must say the graphics are superb,the clock speed as far as i know is only at 95Mhz but it still gives smoothe and good frame rates. It's very cheap now, probably pick up a second hand one for like £20 which is brilliant. Also the graphics card is compatible with an identicle voodoo 2. This means with a cable you could link one voodoo 2 to another and have almost twice the power, 2 voodoo 2's maybe £40. Giving you the power of a Voodoo 3 or better, good huh.... Read review
