WEll today I picked up some new toys.... I haven't bought anything for my computer in MONTHS, so I figured it was time.I got a new speaker system:
Altec Lansing ACS54
These speakers kick butt!!! I put one in each corner, then the sub in the desk.... started up FS with meatwaters sounds, and it was amazing! the desk was shaking and I was going deaf, I loved it! I just can't believe the sound I get out of these small speakers. 3' 5W speakers X4, 1 20W sub. Ok I wasn't going deaf, but it was pretty cool. I never had a surround sound system before so this is a huge step up for me. It only cost be $99.95 CDN (+Tax).
Reviewers on CNET gave it 100% thumbs up!

Thinking of buying them? If you live in the states you can get them for a steal at pcWonders.com (ONLY $53.00USD!!!)

I also picked up a WingMan EXTREME DIGITAL 3D Joystick for $54.95 (+Tax) CDN. They sell it for 59.95 on their web site 
Twist grip, High-Percision throttle, and works off the USB port. I really like it. Better than my percision Pro!.... except this one has less buttons... ohh well. You can't have the world you know
So this means no more picking off the helpless bomebers for the Axis on sunday
