If I had a nice place for my gaming set up. I would totally be investing in a better sound system. Sound quality is actually pretty important to me, especially when I'm listening to music. Hell, my headphones for my ipod cost me $130 bucks, I could see myself eventually upgrading to a sound system for my TV one day. But, it's not super high on my list, since I'm sharing a living room area and we'd just end up having volume wars worse than we do now.
