It's very good, plus it was only $60. If you had the extra I would go with a Blue Yeti, but the Meteor is quite nice
Yea, I have looked at the blue yeti. Its 150 bucks in canada. I am not really interested in spending quite that much for gaming once in a while. I can get the Samson Meteor Mic for 70 bucks. That's more my style.
thanks for the info
Its a great choice then, it's very sensitive so make sure you monitor your sound every once in a while so you aren't melting the ears of those you are talking to. Luckily the knob on the front is there!
Yea, i read that in some reviews. I really like how the mute button is right on the front. Is there toggle on the front to turn it up and down as well?
Sort of, its like a sensitivity toggle. I've noticed that it will "turn down" the background noise more than your own voice. For instance if there is a TV on in the room next to the one you are in, the TV will be heard, but then if you turn down the sensitivity the TV will eventually not be able to be heard. It's kinda weird
Ha! I've got that exact same desk! Though admittedly, you've got a bit of a cooler setup than I do.
Just an update since my last post wasn't my completed build. I finshed up my hooking up all my cables... and did my cable management in the back panel to clean things up.
In addition to the cabling I wired and soldered white LED's to the clear plexi EK waterblocks. I leak tested for a day, and powered it on and posted for the first time on New Years day:
Up and running...

Well done.
My first desk setup that I have a picture of and just got my dock in so thought I'd clean her up a bit

Have a number of things coming including: New mouse/keyboard setup, Powermac G5, current mouse is going to that and have another keyboard coming for that, 2.1 speaker system and maybe some other goodies after I sell my Canon G10 camera.

Awesome desktop wallpaper! Can't you post a link please?? Thanks.
Past: early 90's.. Can't remember the details other than a Gateway 386sx tower and keyboard, Microsoft mouse, Panasonic dot matrix printer, 14" NEC? CRT monitor.
My current 2 year old self built Windows 7 PC

Is it just me or Windows users' desks are messier compare to Mac users...
It's just you.

That's because we aren't obsessed with what people think about us.
My Windows set up looks pretty much identical to my Apple set up..
Way over on the far right is my AMD Phenom 8600B, tri-core 2.3GHz system, running win 7 pro, and 4gigs of ram. Its my newest windows system. I traded a buddy of mine a dual 1.8 G5 PPC system for it.

I just rebuilt the system this past weekend. 8 Core AMD FX-8350, 8GB Ram, 4TB storage, Radeon HD 7770 1GB, with Windows 8.1. I use it as a media server to the TV's and I use it for Steam. Ignore the speaker wires, I still haven't found a way to run them so they don't look weird.

Us Windows users like to get our hands dirty

That's cool. Thanks for the help though.
Need a new computer.
This academic semester I have been investing in a lot of Video equipment and Art supplies, thus having to postpone my Computer upgrade. Been considering an iMac, but also considering just upgrading my motherboard and CPU on this PC so I can utilize it for more power editing. Not sure which route to pick..
