Awesome speakers, but where are they?

[MagpieRacer]

WOW, I want one of those. Just plain awesome!!!

A gentle sea breeze to a helicopter gun ship approaching can be simulated by the two 5000 RPM desktop fans!
...your room lit with 16 million colors that sync with your games through the multiple hi intensity RGB LEDs.

That's ****ing awesome. For lack of a better word.

And here I sit thinking speakers are about accurate sound reproduction. Silly me.

Must be getting old.

I'd rather have a proper speaker set up.

+1 from me on this.

The last thing I want from my speakers is for them to start doing a police car impression, light-up speakers? Not for me thanks.

If you want lights, get some German-made Acapella Audio Arts speakers with the plasma arc tweeters. The tweeters will glow naturally according to tone, and they provide insane frequency response and accuracy. Sure, the speakers will set you back tens of thousands of dollars, but I prefer the glow of a plasma tweeter to LEDs any day.

... and emit ozone.

Anyway, I find this idea of having ambilight and fans not bad, still, I still can't accept such speakers, because you could make them much better sounding for the same money, but nobody does it.

I was able to "experience" the system live during the Games Convention 2007 in Leipzig:

I definitely would not buy it.

The speakers do not sound good and if you concentrate on playing you don't notice the lights anymore.

5000rpm desktop fans. You're kidding. With a setup that elaborate I'd want to be doing it on an HDTV, and having fans in my face is not going to help me enjoy it any more.

That also means the volume will have to be at a decent volume to keep the fans from being annoying.

This is just an assumption, but I guess that the fans do not blow with max speed all the time. Rather than that, I guess it simulates walking or running in a FPS by blowing a bit (or a bit more) of wind in your face.
