In case you guys missed my post at PHF.
Well I finally made the transition from Japan to D.C. We have bought a house(but will not close or move in until about the 21st) and a new car(Infiniti I35(very nice I might add)). Nice to be back in the states where everyone speaks English but geez I forgot how crazy American drivers are. At least in Japan they are predictable. I can't wait to get moved in and get my stuff set up with Broadband(mmmmm....). Well while I'm waiting I'm interested in getting a new speaker/headphone setup for my comp. Probably limit is $100. I was looking at Logitech Z-540s(yes the 40's not the 60's) or the Creative Inpire 5300's for speakers but I don't have a clue as to who makes good headphones other than Seinheiser. So summed up, the question is what are the best speakers/headphones for $100?
Ok some more questions. Since I don't have my own TV I was thinking about getting a TV card so I can watch TV on my monitor instead of buying myself a TV. I was looking at the Leadtek TV2000Xp or something like that. Anyone know any other good models?

AKG makes excellent headphones. I have the AKG K240's, and they're soooo clear, it's great. They're actually studio headphones, but they go for about $90. Extremely comfortable and easy to listen to.
