Here
is the latest Front Bay Speakers from Anyware , whats different ,
for starters its a HDD mount as well , as well two forward facing
USB ports , Line in , and a on-off switch . In
the above picture you can see the where the HDD fits in , I tried
two different HD's that I had lying around , and no problems , they
fit just fine . To me the best thing about this Multi-Media Rack is
the forward facing USB ports . Following the instructions on the box
as well as my MB handbook , hooking up the extra USB ports was no
problem , except for my having to remove my TV capture card (
blocking the USB conectors on the MB ) . With my mouse being a
optical USB mouse I simply unplugged it from the rear of my case ,
and trying each of the new USB ports one at time , I found that my
mouse worked just fine each time . HOW
IT SOUNDS : Well
you just cant get past the fact that the speakers are small , and
the sound is equally small , with the system sounding like a
transistor radio , the thing I did like was the lack of distortion ,
even at full volume . CONCLUSION
: If you can get past
the speakers sounding like a transistor radio , then you will be reasonably
pleased with the volume and lack of distortion at the louder
settings. So if your looking for a single product that will , A
5.25" HDD mount , 2 Forward facing USB ports , Phone and Line
in Jacks , with the ability to turn the speakers on and of in case
you want to run another set of speakers ( double adapter out of
soundcard / not included ) then the SP-150A needs looking at . Why
would you want bay speakers ? , well for streamlining , the USB
ports , mounting an extra HDD , for that LAN box so that you can
leave the larger cumbersome speakers at home , leaving you with less
stuff to cart around . I personally liked this latest version , for
all of the above reasons so Im leaving it in my case , no more
stretching under my computer table to turn my old speakers on ,
unless I want to specifically listen to music . Well I liked the
SP-150A Multi-Media Rack , its not going to be everyone's cup of
tea , but what is these days , Im not sure what the RRP is on
this product , but If your looking to make life a little easier ,
then I can recommend this product to do just that. I
would like to thank ANYWARE for making this review possible . |
