I almost bought that Sharp but then saw this Toshiba that has a very nice, newer, thinner model for a very decent price: http://www.amazon.com/Toshiba-40UL605U-40-Inch-1080p-Ultra/dp/B003VNKN0K/ref=pd_cp_e_1

The sharp isn't edge-lit led, it's got a full array so that's one reason why it isn't ultra-thin.  The main reason why I bought the sharp is because it has exceptionally low input lag - I dunno if that toshiba has been tested.

That's some nice temps on the cpu, I googled it and found AMD doesn't want you go over 65c on that processor.  Are these temps quoted while playing games or using a stress program such as prime95?  Just wondering.  I'm into Intel right now, left AMD when the Core 2 came out.  But that's almost unreal load temps for a stress program.

Thats after about 30-40min playing crysis on max, 1920x1080, all setting very high, 16x aa
 
Edit: Just tested Prime95, it hovers between 46-47.

To get them over there was easy...to set them up so it was accessing my info (gmail, calendar, facebook....) was a different story since I had no experience with Rainmeter. But by trial & error I got it done. Still tweaking.
 
EDIT: or are you talking about the RocketDock at the bottom?

Verley, I wonder if you'd get any kind of benefit from turning your isolation pads around 180 degrees. Kinda looks like the speakers are pointing a bit north of your ears.. Just an idea. Or, perhaps you're just really tall.
 
Happy listening!

VARLEY:
 
Are those A5's too much for sitting so close ? I have a pair of A2's about the same spacing and distance away and angled slightly up. That seems like plenty, although there are some A5's for sale cheap here. How do you like them that close?
I guess it can never be enough ...I think I am looking for an excuse to buy bigger ones.....give me one .....

Recently I've had a few problems with dry ear canals so I've not been using my headphones anywhere near as much as my speakers - When I'm not on the go and don't NEED to listen to my headphones, I turn my speakers on

About the sound, it really depends how loud you're playing your music to be honest, if you've got it past the 9'o clock position on dial then it starts to become overwhelming - Everything becomes blended together, hard to distinguish past the bass really - However if I move away from the desk a metre or two then the clarity suddenly reappears - I find that I have them angled fine after about a month of constantly moving them around. Also my chair coincidentally, allows me to be on the right level for the speakers when I'm sitting 'slouched' - I sometimes lie on my bed (just to the right of the picture) when listening to them and although the sound is not as direct as sitting infront of them (channel wise) it is clearer and less fatiguing at a reasonable volume

The only reason they're so close is due to me not being able to push them back any further, one, because my wall is too close for the bass port at the back; two, because they would be a considerable distance behind my monitor

As an overall speaker they are fully amazing for their price and being amped themselves, I just have them running through my Audinst MX-1 - On top of that, they are aesthetically pleasing

I even bought the A2's for my girlfriend, they are truly amazing for their size
