Well my intellimouse's buttons are not working well lately, so i'll need to buy a new one, it's getting boring...so anyone could give me an advice for buying a new one ? I need an optical with a wheel and 3 buttons, that's all i need...

I'm also considering buying speakers, but i don't really know what to buy...normally i'd buy a 2.1 system or maybe a 4.1, anyone could gimme advices about that ? And also tell me if there's a big difference between 2.1 and 4.1 ?!

tx :)

The best mouse so far for me is Microsoft IntelliPoint with a wheel and 2 buttons..........It's really Cool and user friendly.......

As for speaker...No DOubT.......A 5.1 Speaker will make your computer a home theatre system......(5 speakers 1 subwoofer)

A good mouse is the Microsoft Intelli Mouse Explorer Optical(thats what i have)

another good mouse is the Mouseman Dual Optical

:D OHH Boy :p

i have a 2.1 here ......and a 4.1 at home.....:) if ur needs are basic....then u don;t need a 4.1 system......but if u want to really have a 3D surround effect and theatre hall sound effects for DVDs , Music , games etc...then a 4.1 is the way to go baby :)
But if u goto see , its not really worth the Price difference .....as a 2.1 does a great job too

The Altec Lansing ATP3 is a good 2.1 system :)

Bose have em for sure :D:p

2.1,4.1, 5.1 stand for 2 speakers and one woofer, 4 = 4 speakers and so on... but you will have to have a good sound card to go with the speaker or else...

mouse... well, for me any mouse will do... as long as it has a scroll... :p
