Those Z series speakers from Logitech are the biggest rip off speakers, even with the so called "THX certification".
I heard them many times before, and they arn't that much better then your average computer speakers.

Yeah. Razer Salmosa...... interesting facts I found out about the Salmosa.....
It's a Korean Pit Viper Snake..... Korea is also the biggest competitive gaming country in the world....... Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...........................

And GammaBoy, Configure the settings to what YOU'RE comfortable with....... that's why they give you multiple profiles to switch.

Both All IT and Thunder Match hypermart has them all.
If in case they don't have, you can also get it from C-Zone.

And when you say Barracuda, do you mean the headphone or the soundcard?
Actually, in either case, get neither. The Headphones snap waaaaaaaay to easily and the soundcard doesn't really feature anything special. I bought the soundcard because at first, they announced the Mako with support for proprietary HD-Audio port, but now they took that feature off. You'd get more options, sound quality AND bundle from the ASUS Xonar D2 sound card (http://www.extremetech.com/article2/0,1697,2268255,00.asp). As for the headphones, there are much better ones out there. I don't use headphones, but I'm sure some of the guys here will have their suggestions.

Yeah, I'm a Razer supporter, a die-hard one at that. But if it's a bad product, it's a flat out BAD product.

If I were you, I'd hold off the Lachesis too, mainly because there are still alot of issues and the laser doesn't make THAT much difference. The DeathAdder is still the current favorite because of the body shape and performance. But if hump-backed mouse arn't your cup of tea, try out the Boomslang CE.... Bigger body and featured packed too. Finally, if all else fails, the Diamondback 3G is still the perennial favorite. Razer's Laser mouses still have alot of bugs to call them perfect. The 3G IR sensor mouses on the other hand (The Deathadder, Boomslang Ce AND Diamondback 3G) ARE perfect. close to zero prolems, there's a body type for everyone and they work extremely well.

And of course, if you can wait, the new Razer Salmosa is going to be announced VERY VERY soon.

Ok, the Barracuda headphones, not good at all. It snaps easily and the quality isn't THAT fantastic. Like suggested, go for the Icemat Siberia.

As for the DA and the DB3G, It's just a matter of comfort. The DA of course has the higher hump, and best if you're moving from say a Logitech (Like me) or even a Microsoft Intellimouse. I own both the DA and DB3G and they work amazingly, but I use the DB3G on my Laptop whenever I do Photoshop work or Flash Animations because of the Extra buttons (There's a total of 7 Buttons, 2 main, 1 scroller, and 2 on each side) which I can configure to use for switching profiles, On-The-Fly settings on Macros. However, when I'm taking it outside to really game (COD4 looks and plays amazing on my Acer Gemstone Laptop), I switch to the Boomslang CE. It's the most deadly one because of the shape and button sizes which are more comfortable to game with (IMHO). At home, I don't really find the need for the extra 2 buttons, so I stick with the DA.

As for the Destructor mousepad, it isn't available yet here (I Think), but I suspect it would be a better pairing for any new Laser mouse (Including the new SA. Yes. I Acronym-ed it SA) because it was specifically Tailor made for the laser mouses according to the press release.

I dunno about the Steelsound series. I don't hunt for headphones. Sorry mate.

And if possible, Somebody start V4.0 of this thread. Make sure they are able to update the user list whenever possible.
