You should get the Sicuro 2.1 speaker set. Great sound and they look really cool. I love mine. They match all my stuff really well (I'm into the brushed aluminum/silver look). They also come in different colors too if silver's not your thing.

That's so cool. Freaky but cool. Speaking of interference, if my cell is on my desk when it get's a call my computer speakers buzz and click. It actually comes in handy cause I leave my phone on vibrate. The speakers buzz before my phone starts shaking.

This means one thing -- you have cell phone service operating at 1900MHz. Yes, that frequency interferes with speaker (and headphone) cables. It's freaky the first time you hear it. 800MHz services don't have the same effect, incidentally.

And don't forget good ol' Fry's. After all, it's just down the road from you. Just make sure not to pick a set that's already been returned. As you're well aware, Fry's is notorious for putting returned items back on the shelf without doing much in the way of checking to make sure they still work.

I wish we had a Fry's here in Denver.
