Nice rig.
How's that case?
And also, how are the x-540s? I've heard great things about them.

Man, the x540's are amazing speakers. As you can tell from my set up, I love logitech because they built amazing products. The speakers are great, they sound crisp, clear, and loud because each satellite has 2 speakers. The sub woofer's great also, it's loud. Both my friend and I have em and for over a year and they've been flawless. The system also has a little console that has the volume, mic in and this "matrix" button and makes stereo music into 5.1 somehow. I'll take a picture of my set up for you.

The tempest is great also. I'm not going to lie, it may be that I had bad luck but one of the fans 120mm fans were broken when built the rig, and the analog audio ports in the front are sorta bad, at least in mine are but I don't use them though so It doesn't bother me. Also the power button get's jammed and that happens to a lot of people. Besides that, the case is solid, nice looking, quiet, and easy to build on to. I also suggest the HAF from coolermaster, the scout from coolermaster, and the vulcan from NZXT along with the tempest.

I own the X-540's as well. Not for a year yet. But like 8 months? Anyways, it's only a headphone jack no a mic and headphone jack. Volume knob with a bass knob which is standard to pretty much any decent stereo these days. The matrix mode doesn't put it in "true" 5.1 surround sound. It act's like a car stereo. Two fronts and two rears. It splits the 2 channels (left and right) between the front and rear speakers. The center speaker I believe get's both at the same time.

Note: You need to be careful as the subwoofer is exposed on the bottom of the box. Friend of mine was setting it up and just placed it on the top of his desk temporarily and the desk collapsed and the edge of the desk tore open the woofer. First day he owned it too!

Music sounds great in the Matrix mode. Listen to this song blasted in the matrix mode:

The waaaaa sounds travels around you through each satellite, it's sick. And of course, subwoofers need to be on the ground... as the air is being pushed and trembles the floor giving it the real bass feel. Putting it on a desk is just gonna make it sound scratchy and buzzy with a possibility of the desk collapsing lol.

putting another 120mm fan on that H50 will drop your temps abit (push & pull) use it as an exhaust, if your using it as an intake all it is doing is just blowing hot air into your rig and from the pic's it don't look like you have a top 200mm exhaust fan on that 932 (maybe you do can i'm blind)
 
@astyle
same temp if i want to put the 120mm fan on radiator,you can see the 2nd pic :)
actually thats not a 932 its a cooler master haf-X case i have 2 fans on the top 200mm :)
 
temps shouldn't be the same with duel 120mm fans on it..(and i guess i'm blind didn't see the top fans in the pic) and i thought that case looked different ), love that case wish i would have gotten that instead of my 922

He wasn't playing anything when his desk collapsed. He had put it up there to get it out of the way. He was moving some other stuff and his desk just fell apart. It was actually the people who put it together, fault. They did it wrong. But I was saying that to warn people to be careful that the speaker is completely exposed. No grill what so ever. Picking it up wrong can even damage the sub. So I've been so careful as to just make a base for it :) So that if anything happens it messes with the base I made, and not the sub :)

Lolwut.
Uh, I think you made a little bit of those up? Or you may have typed stuff incorrectly. Either way,
Nehalem is the Core i7's original architecture, so having quad Core 2 Duos is kind of stupid/irrelevant naming.
32GB of ram? Wasteful.
3x5TB harddrives? Yeah, right, the biggest drive available right now is 2TB IIRC, maybe 3TB. Point is, not 5TB harddrives.
All that cpu 'power' and only a 9400M? That's a laptop GPU. Maybe you put the M in by accident. Still, a 9400GT? That's so weak.
And one of those powering 2x30in monitors? Dumb. Unless you're ONLY doing work on it.
