Speakers
Do I really need them? 23:19, July 6, 2010 (UTC)


 * Only if you want sound. Some monitors do have speakers built in, but the sound quality is often terrible.  Quizzical 03:48, July 7, 2010 (UTC)


 * A headset can be a useful substitute as well, mostly if you have other people that don't like whatever you're having :> If you're willing to pay a little, the sound quality is pretty good as well (and, as per usual, higher price != better quality per se) . --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG]] -- (contribs) &emsp;(talk)  16:10, July 7, 2010 (UTC)


 * In which case, that's effectively a different form of speakers. But yeah, I get your point.  I'd worry about how comfortable it is to wear the headset all day, though.
 * I've got a $15 pair of speakers that works great. More expensive speakers might theoretically be better, though I'm not sure that I'd be able to hear the difference between what I've got and a better pair of speakers.
 * Regardless, I don't care that much about sound quality, just so long as it's not really bad, such as buzzing or popping noises when the speakers aren't supposed to be making any noise at all. I'm not the best person to ask about speakers, but I brought it up for the sake of completeness, so that someone wouldn't follow my checklist of items in great detail and then wonder why he didn't have any sound.

Great article
I've got a friend who's using me as "technical advice" when building a computer. I'm going to link him here, so I can get back to playing video games. --  Random  Time   23:29, July 6, 2010 (UTC)
