Beware: Extreme Poison below
Finally managed to install Bluetooth and post pics of my new PC
Asus P5K-Pro Motherboard
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 (2.4Ghz)
4GB Kingston DDR2 667Mhz RAM
Western Digital 320 GB HD SATAII
MSI nVidia GeForce 8800GT 512MB OC Edition
Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Fatal1ty Xtremegamer (64mb X-RAM)
Creative Gigaworks T40 (2.0 Speakers)
Coolermaster Centurion 5 casing
Antec 650W Power Supply Unit
LG 20x DVD RW
Viewsonic VX2235wm 22″ LCD monitor
Logitech G15 gaming keyboard
Microsoft Sidewinder gaming mouse
Yup did a couple more upgrades compared to the previous post. Speakers are just insane. In fact the whole setup looks insane… proof that I’m a typical Taurus single male. Now I seriously love my room.
Creative Gigaworks T40 speakers at an angle.
The 2nd gen Logitech G15.
Microsoft Sidewinder. Sleek and poised for action.
The heart of the tiger, where all the stuff happens. Quad core processor, Geforce 8800GT, X-Fi sound card… etc. Gets pretty hot with just stock cooling.
Crysis. The game of all games… currently. Beats the crap out of my PC specs.
Damn shiok. I wanna play all day… all week… grrrr…

Hey, I’ve got the same keyboard and mouse as you, and I’m finding that I’m getting conflicts with the intellipoint 6.2 and the logitech g15 keyboard software.
It’s doing random clicks, spitting out keystrokes etc, have you encountered this too?
So far I’ve not encountered such a prob. I’m using Windows Vista Home premium. I got the mouse first before the keyboard, so that got installed first. When I installed the G15 there’s no problem so far. Did you install both concurrently? I always install one thing at a time.
How are those speakers? Bass wise. Im interested in buying a pair, mainly for mixing House on my PC, music and games.
I just looking for a reasonable upgrade path from my old old old Slim 500’s I bought 6 years ago.
Thanks.
Hmm… now that you mentioned it. I realized that I’ve not turned up the bass to max using the dial on the speakers yet. In my honest opinion, I’ve always thought that subwoofers were needed to produce that deep pumping bass that bass lovers look for. So far, that theory’s been proven wrong with this pair of 2.0 speakers. There’s no subwoofer as the speakers have the bass woofers built into them. I think the bass is really good (just tuned up the bass dial). It got that real quality depth and resonance. I’ve seen speakers with woofers that just have terrible bass, in which if you turn up the volume the bass just cracks and flattens out. You won’t get that problem with the Gigaworks T40. You just get even more bass (retaining the quality) when you turn up the volume, which is just the way I feel speakers ought to do. But you won’t get that insane stifling bass cos after all its just like 14 watts? heh… a bit of a turn off for hardcore audiophiles who’re into mixing… but 14 watts with such great sound is unbelievable… I think its insane. I enjoy my music so much more with the quality this gives. Could be cos I have a great sound card to go with it too.
Just bought these speakers. Using them over the weekend.
Iv come to the conclusion, there are great apart from the Bass which is like, about 50% down on my old Slim 500 Bass. Well actually, House music kinda lacks in the bass with these, but other music sounds great.
On too sound card though. I have a PCI Creative SB Audigy SE 7.1 Is it really worth upgrading to a X-Fi soundcard?
I use my PC for all my music & games.
Thanks.
you make a good point because I for one, hardly listen to house music. In fact I just downloaded that garage track you put up at your site and tried listening to it on the T40. Nice work sir.
In this context, I have to agree that the bass quality wasn’t that good. In fact the speakers weren’t able to project the sound right. I had to switch my Creative SB X-Fi mode to “Audio Creation Mode” in order for it to sound a little more decent. Still not great for house. Simply means that its probably not designed for such heavy bass needed in this genre. Not to mention that you spend so much time mixing. I’d probably be a little disappointed if I were you. But I still think you got what you paid for. The sound is still great for gaming and most of the other genres of music.
I’ve personally not heard sound coming from the Creative Audigy series of cards. The SE 7.1 you mentioned is pretty high end from what I gather. Worth getting? Only if there’s a significant increment in quality over your current one. I can’t compare with the X-Fi because I’ve not heard the older one. If you want to get the Creative X-Fi card, get the Fatal1ty series and not the “half” cards. There’s another sound card called Auzen X-Fi Prelude 7.1. A few people in hardware forums swear by the Auzen.
