Hi,
I'm planning to add/upgrade some of my peripherals of my pc. Please give a few suggestions.
1. Monitor: Suggest some good 20" lcds within rs7500. I'll be sitting 2.5-3m from the screen while watching movies; i don't have any hd content, just dvd quality - so i guess 22" is not a good option. I'll also be doing graphic design, programming and net surfing.

3. Surround Speakers: Budget rs3500. I have selected creative inspire m5300 and t6100. Here i have a problem. According to my room measurements, the attached cables are short, so i have to extend them. Now i understand that t6100 has a different connector (not the standard rca) for the front right satellite. Is it possible to extend it? Else I'll go for the m5300. Also, does t6100 has a radically better sound quality than m5300? Any other suggestions?
Thanks
