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

WOW! this stick really is cool! You can set up different profiles for the stick for each game you have. When you execute the .exe for say........... Fighter Squadron, the WingMan setup program senses that and automatically installs the profile you made for FS. Then if you then decide to play RB6, it senses you executed the game exe, tehn loads your RB6 profile! PLUS it lets you print out a reference card, so if you forgot what button A does, you just look it up on the card. Cool eh? VERY!

Spanky here...

Yep I have the same stick and although I'm to lazy to use the profiles It is a great stick.

My brother has the same one and I think Mad Dogs dad does too. Its the only stick I recommend for that price.
