what do you guys think? whats going to happen with the sound?

It's gonna sound like it's coming from the wrong place.

then push the two side monitors next to the main one.

+1

Cause you'll be looking at whatever is on the monitors, but the sound won't be coming from there.

It may not be that bad because it will still be hitting your ears from the front, but you should still be able to tell what direction it came from.

That's why, unless you have surround sound, your supposed to put the speakers in front of you as opposed to behind. Some people don't mind it though.

I don't see any harm in trying it out though.

Who knows maybe with the back speakers and the front speakers be low theyll cancel each other out and it'll sound great.

They should be facing you, definitely not facing up at the desk.

Some 'new info' on bulldozer:

Highest part comes in a sweet ass black edition tin
BD Tin
Thre rest come in Ye Olde Paper Box

AMD is sticking with the 200mhz HTT baseclock and half step multipliers.
Idle temps don't seem high even though they're using the same shitty stock heatsink with a core voltage of 1.4. And of course all cores can change speeds independently of the other cores. (I expect the idle voltages to be lower though as it shouldnt take the same voltage for 3.2ghz as 1.0ghz.
AMD Overdrive SS

It's a little worrying that the actual clock of the processor can vary up to 32mhz... my phenom II rarely varies more than 8mhz even with a higher than stock multi.\

Don't bother translating haha.

Is that the sender's or Sweden's customs?

Still waiting on a date/pricing for the Corsair Force GT SSDs, Q2 is almost over

Are you waiting on any more parts, or are you good to go now?

If that's based on the new sandforce controller you're going to be waiting a little while, corsair and a few other manufacturers just recalled all of their new drives. Problem with the reference design hardware. OCZ is the only company unaffected to my knowledge, as they use customized hardware.
