I'm surprised it hasn't been brought up yet, but what speakers do you use with that beast?

Surely, it deserves far more than some silly Logitech pair...

I'm getting into the DIY audio thing myself; I'm looking into building a pair of speakers for myself as a summer project after school ends this year.

I've always been quite intimidated by the electronics part, though. Threads like these are wonderful learning tools.

Some questions that I have:

What exactly is the difference between an electrolytic and a film capacitor? WeStSiDePLaYa said something about the films being far superior earlier in the thread, but their microfarad ratings seem to be far lower...

Are the types of caps you choose based on space on the card? e.g. if you had an unlimited budget/availability of those huge caps you use, and you were able to put them on each solder point on the board, would you? Or is there some obscure (to me, at least) methodology to selecting and placing them?

Thanks if you take the time to read through my questions...as a high school freshman whose only audiophile assets are a pair of (over)sensitive ears who is looking to get the money for a decent audio setup, this kind of stuff is invaluable. =)
