Great speakers for backyard and pool area

I had a pool party recently and had issues with the sound. with just a single set of speakers, if I turned it up loud enough to be heard in the pool, the people between the pool and the speakers couldn't talk over the sound and when I turned it down, it couldn't be heard in the pool.
I read the other reviews and they were very positive. One of the reviewers recommended getting two pair for better balance over the whole yard area and I would have to agree that if you can swing it, it is best to get two pair.
The speakers have very good mid and high range response and the happen to blend in very well with the other rocks we have in the yard. The bass is as good as you can get based on the price and size. I ended up hooking up a sub woofer along with these speakers and that solved the problem.
I got them for 99 per pair which seems like a good value to me based on their performance.
What's great about it: Easy to hookup, reasonable price, speaker wire included.
What's not so great: Nothing
I would recommend this to a friend!

This graphics card features 512MB DDR2 memory for realistic images and a PCI Express x16 interface for high-speed processing. The HDMI output allows for connection to an HDTV.

I bought this card (NVIDIA GeForce 210 model BFGP210512E) for my HP Pavilion y6110p about 11 days ago because I was finding more and more that I was watching tv content online. I specifically chose this model over others because of it's price and the fact that it would output both VGA and HDMI.
The installation was easy and straight forward and I had no problems installing on a 64 bit Windows Vista machine.
Being new to having more than one display, it took me a while to learn about extended laptops and cloning one display based on the other. In the end, I used the extended desktop setting and if I wanted to watch a youtube video on my TV, I would just drag the window over to my HDTV and voila. I could keep working at my computer and still have the video out put to the TV.
I originally had a problem with the HDMI image being cut off at the top and sides. After some googling, I realized that there was a setting in the control panel for the card that would fix that.
I absolutely had no problems with the card until the last few days when the fan that cools the CPU on the graphics card started getting really noisy. I might not have noticed on another computer but I specifically bought the HP computer because of it's quietness and now all I can hear is that noisy fan. This is a deal breaker for me and I will be taking it back.
What's great about it: Easy to install on Win Vista. Control Panel and Settings easy to use. Pretty good price.
What's not so great: Fan Noise is disturbingly loud
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
