    PC Peripherals best logitech speakers under 10k

    Planning to purchase the Logitech X-230 - 2.1 speaker set, with favourable reviews. It's not an ideal companion to a dvd player, but Proper Digital speaker sets (with decoders) were way out of budget. And if I can't really use 4.1/5.1 speakers without routing the audio via my PC(and 5.1...

    Treo 650 vs <Insert name here>

    A friend has that and he hates it -- it's not the most ergonomic device ever invented. And it is cumbersome to make quick one handed phone calls, at least it appeared that way.

    Monitors How Can I HOOK up My PS2 to My Monitor ?

    expect interlacing problems - will make reading text in games and fast action games very difficult to play on the monitor... unless of course your tuner card comes with a hardware/software filter to reduce/eliminate the interlacing artefacts.
