    The thing with speakers, is that you dont blast them right away.
    If they are brand new, you need to run them in for about 100hours. Not continuously of course, but just have them at around 30-50% for two weeks. This lets the rubbers soften up and become more movable.

    But I'd also suggest, if the walls are plywood, why not build some speaker stands onto them?
    Lol... My trusty little Logitech system must be nicely worn-in then. Over the weekend I checked my Winamp output stats (the output plugin I use has a 'played time' counter), and it's sitting on nearly 4500 hours on a 1 year old installation... Oh, and I've had these speakers for about 4 years.

    What can I say, I really like rock music.......

    I probably would have gone with a slightly beefier psu in such a colorful rig.
    other than that, it looks great though.

    Nice looks good. BTW that PSU is just fine for your rig. A friend of mine has that same one in a overclocked I7 rig with the power hungry GTX 295 and he has absolutely no issues.

    I concur, a quality 650watt is plenty enough. Your rig probably draws no more than 420watts max. It seems many people like to overspec that PSU in hopes of future proofing their build.

    I agree, for the OP's rig that 650 is plenty. Nice system BTW.

    For what it's worth I had an Antec 550 watt PS powering my system. Moved to an Antec 850 Signature series which is more than I need but I wanted that power supply.

    I just believe the psu is the most overlooked part when building good rigs.
    It's nothing against it, hell it looks better than my build. Which is a cable nightmare. More because I never bothered to tie them properly than anything...

    I would agree - but in this case the OP got it right :)

    Anyway you might want to invest in some tie straps and clean those loose wires up - helps with air flow and dust management
