Thanks guys.
You were close Sherwood, they're actually the B25's. I've been at Head-fi for almost almost 1 month, and already I've spent over $300 on equipment. So far I'vve gotten X-fi card, Little Dot MK III, Blue Jean Cables, and some Beyerdynamic DT770 headphones. ('05 consumer ed.) I'm looking to get a DAC soon, something like a 0404 usb...I'm really trying to keep every piece under $250

Oh man, good choice on the 0404 USB. Great DAC.
You might consider pairing it with a T-amp or gainclone for those B25s. They're close enough and efficient enough to make good use of chip amplification.
So far, though, excellent setup. I'm sure you're thrilled with it

Definitely, I feel like music sounds better coming out of the headphones than the speakers. I listened to Michael Jackson's "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'" and couldn't help but get a grin on my face from how nice it sounded lol.

No, they're fairly different. Same family of sound, but the ESW10s are more detailed and over a long period of time a little more fatiguing. They're also a little more likely to shine with some music and not do so well with others. The ESW9s I prefer all around, but for some sounds, the ESW10s are amazing.

They are indeed from Ikea. I like having two blankets. One is too short.

Do you guys get enough noise from the computer to be bothersome?

No, I've silenced the thing with slow rotating quite fans and furnished the case with special noise damping material.
