I had a similar thing with my Klipsch ProMedia Ultra 5.1 speakers. They worked for a about a week, then they refused to turn on. Went through 2 sets of these speakers (luckily they had 1 yr warranty) Decided to get a UPS & Surge protector.

LOL you mean you were on RFD just for the OT section? You are seriously missing out!

Beware if the speakers are not magnetically shielded, you may destroy your monitor too by having them too close to each other.

OT/BST (selling)/sports/a little bit of hardware

-not a very rich student, couldn't really capitilize from the deals (even though they're quite cheap actually

Yeah in all my time on RFD I notice as soon as I start going in the Hot Deals.. my credit card starts getting racked up.. and I have all kinds of junk I dont know what to do with.

So right now I'm doing my best to just stay the heck out of the Hot Deals forum to save money!

If I need a specific item, then I do a search and see what I can find... aimlessly clicking and buying has really become a waste... even with the hot prices.
