Well, if you want to test how they sound, pop in an SACD or a rip. Power doesn't really mean anything, it is the quality of sound that counts.

Battlefield 3 and BC2 both have excellent sound design. Personally I would test it with some Opeth

The music in most games is highly compressed. In small games, sound quality isn't important, and big titles compress their music so that it'll fit on a 4.7gb DVD for an Xbox 360.

Just rip a CD or find some FLAC files online. There might also be high quality sound mods for a few games.

Any old school 16-bit side scroller should do.

If you haven't already, try out Amnesia: The Dark Descent.

The audio design for that game is bone-chilling beautiful.

best game to test new speakers?

Bought the 1st one un-lit to see what I thought of Mech Keyboards after seeing all the nerds rave about them here in OCN. Wow! OK I get it now. You do gain an accuracy because the mind knows when...

Also, the cooling block was pretty flat. I'm a machinist on occasion and "pretty flat" isn't easy. I wet sand CPUs and coolers on glass; this cooler took 1/4 of the time the i7-2600k required to...

I wrote the initial info for this case, so that's pretty much my review. Compared to the TT Command Snow I just evaluated, if THIS case was ATX sized, I would rather buy this case than the TT...

Overall, I'd recommend passing on buying this unless you're at the store and it's the cheapest one you like. I'm more impressed by the quality of the generic Apex TX521 that Tiger Direct likes to...

Picked these up for my TRON Legacy theme build. Got the optional light bar upgrade kit(s). Note, for a quad channel package you will need two light bar kits as each covers two sticks. No issues...
