The video card is a Chaintech FX5200 with VGA, SVid, and DVI. The SVID is also going to my Pioneer receiver. I also have my JVC VCR and SONY 5 disc DVD changer going that that recevier. I have 2 Cerwin Vega RE-30s (12" woofer, POWERHOUSE speakers btw) a JBL Northwood Center Channel, dual JBL Northwood 8" tower rears and a JBL PB12 sub (12" 250W sub). I picked up all that stuff while I worked at Best Buy. Luckily, my brother works there now so I can get great discounts on things. Unfortunately, I live in an apartment building so I can't turn on the sub. The old woman below me is a school teacher. I can barely listen to music at 2pm without her pounding on her ceiling. One time, when I knew it wasn't loud, I jumped on the floor REALLY hard in hopes that she'd shut up. Let me just say, I'm 6'3" tall and 280lbs (not a terribly big white guy). I'm suprised I didn't go through the floor. haha. Interestingly enough, she has never pounded on my floor since that day. Quite liberating.
