A bathroom sponge.

The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

He's got an 8800GTX in his PC atm.

He's giving that PC to Dad.

Dad won't use the power of the 8800GTX, so he's selling it, and to replace it he bought an 8400GS.

Srsly though, what is the 8400 like?

Well, compared to my old 2.0 system which I had for like 12 years now, it's ^ .
I haven't heard Onkyo speakers so far but, if their speakers are as good as their receivers, it should be pretty good

my dad got my mom one as a gift once. it got used maybe twice. it's damn loud and takes a long time to clean one room (it's a big room through, maybe 25x25). when you're in the room directly below the room it's cleaning, it sounds like a helicopter is circling your house.

What would you suggest to step up to in the next 90 days? Only GT300 will outperform the GTX295 but it's way out
