Yamaha 130W All-Weather 2-Way Outdoor Speakers with Wide Frequency Response (Pair) - Black Model: NS-AW350 Again, these are just an example. However, they need to be rated to accept 100W, and I'd like the frequency to be around 40Hz - 40KHz.

Sony 8" 3-Way Extended-Response Floor Speakers (Pair) Model: SSMF550H Example - Floor speakers (or even shelf speakers) that aren't too large, but can fill up the living room, breakfast nook and kitchen with good sound.

Has to be either PC-4200 or PC-3200 ram. Either 512MB (2x256MB) or 1GB (2x512MB) for my Dell GX280.

Need a new hard drive (preferably external USB or firewire) to store digital video. 150GB+.
