[QUOTE="ClockworkWorld, post: 1184128, member: 182559"] Haha, it's pretty fun building up to the big order, isn't it? :P Ah. Well, this is one area of things I am not so well versed with our iMac. You are correct, it has just a headphone jack on the rear. It's not a major problem for us, as we bought some very good speakers/subwoofer that work with that well enough for our needs. But it's truly the one part of the iMac (and Macbook for that matter...) that I wish could be a little different. I have heard of people using adapters and external sound cards and stuff, but I can't personally speak to experience with them. When I'm not working later and can get at my bookmarks, I can post some links to some of the research I've been doing into that for us. But perhaps someone with actual experience will beat me to it :) We bought the Logitech X-530 system. It is a surround sound system, but without some sort of adapter or something, we can only use two of the speakers, and the subwoofer. The sound quality is [b]amazing[/b]. I'm not exaggerating, if you turn it up enough, it could literally knock things off the walls. So I can only imagine what it would sound like with the proper adapters to get full use of the speakers!
