The bottem computer is my primary computer. I built this computer not horribly long ago, when ever the Athlon XP 2100+ came out. It has an Athlon XP 2100+, Radeon 8500LE (128mb verison w/350mhz clock speed), and 512mb pc2700 ddr ram. For when I built it, it was the "best bang for the buck" for new computer parts. There is alot to be said for only spending about $1200 on a new top end computer. It also has the Newq (it's a sound adition which I'll go in to details later about), a Creative 52x cd-rom drive, Sony 40/12/48 cd-rw drive (I'm a fan of the quality products at Sony), and an ethernet card. This computer would be a great computer to overclock, I would also then have to spend additional money for extra cooling if I did that though. The motherboard is an Asus A7v333. It is a very good motherboard with alot of very nice features none of my other computers have. This is a great computer, and the cost makes it just that much better.

To the left is my old Tandy MMS-10 speaker system I have connected to my Compaq. It's an amazing little piece of early computer multimedia engineering. It's the last living left over from my very first computer. I belive my first computer was a 386 sx I bought from RadioShack. I don't really remember the brand of the computer itself or anything like that. It has two one inch speakers with about a two and a half inch sub woofer type speaker on the bottem of it. It also has volume, tone, balence, mixer controls, and even has a headphone jack. Amazing it still works just as good as the day I bought it. Tandy built this one well.
Here is exactly what the Newq is. It acually does several things. First of all, it has a 7 band graphic equilizer, a number of preset equilizer settings, and several sound effect settings. The sound effect settings produce echos and other effects to make it sound like you are acually in a music hallway, a ballpark, club, or just where ever. It even incorperates an FM radio with good reception. The radio has about 30 presets you can save to its memory and when the radio is on, it takes no power or processing power. It does this through a direct connection to the speakers. There are two parts to the Newq. First there is the Newq itself and the adapter card which fits in the back. No, it doesn't use a PCI slot, it only uses one of the openings. You run a connection from your sound card, to the adapter card, to the Newq. www.newq.com for more details.
