Trying to find some speakers to replace the 20+ year old Boston Acoustics ones i had that came with my original Gateway computer!
P.S. Anyone have anything moderately cheap they like that don't sound like tin cans or laptop speakers?

Logitech has a great 2 speaker system that isn't tinny at all. http://www.logitech.com/en-us/product/multimedia-speakers-z200

Yeah, that's what I am looking for. Right in that price range, and something someone has heard and can vouch for.

@hobbit666 for internet/phone? I switched to PlusNet and got a really good deal, I paid line rental up front for a year, reduced rate means just under £180 I think, then for £14.99 a month I have unlimited 40Mbps fibre...no site restrictions as they're essentially BT with English Call Centres, and no delay/throttling that I've seen...
Their "hub" is ok, but I'm currently waiting till Ubiquiti stuff drops in price on Amazon to get a dedicated FW and WAP to link off the back of them...
That's who I've been looking at
same about the Ubiquiti stuff. Was going to get some kit too. -

And same day shipping, too!
I'm wondering if I want to go the Bluetooth route instead to get rid of some of the damn wires.

Uhm, sorry to hear. Good luck on your next gig.
Something like that can't happen here in Germany. 3 to 6 months to the end of the quarter, except you are stealing something... Heard things are similar in the UK and other European countries.

Sorry to hear man but every time I've ever been laid off it ended up being the best thing for me. I hope that is the case for you.

Very sorry to hear that, that really sucks. Best of luck on finding a new one!
