This guy makes sense.

I like OCZ lately. I took a shot in the dark with them a few years ago after swearing by their RAM products, and ended up jumping on the OCZ bandwagon as well. They are clean (come with detachable wires that are already wrapped for a cleaner look), not really overpriced, and I never had a problem with them. Never had an issue with their memory either.

Onboard audio has some a very long way and works just fine for the average user.
