    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Creative Gigaworks T40 Series II

    Many years ago I had an SLI setup and one day the screen became all garbled when I booted up. Turns out one of the cards had broken and when I opened the case I found shredded spider inside... So I wouldn't rule anything out. Did you end up getting new speakers, and if so what did you get?
