Another day, another very decent 5.1 gaming-centric PC surround system. I had a chance to play a FPS with these suckers at a Logitech briefing a few months back, and for a minute I thought the back of my skull had been pierced. Full specs and press release after the jump.
And they ship in October for about $200.

Product Description
With high performance audio, gamer-inspired features such as dual mute controls and gaming matrix mode, the G51 speaker system is optimized for 5.1 high-definition audio. The laser-tuned satellites include FDD2 technology, which produces a uniform soundfield, while the ported, down-firing subwoofer rumbles with every explosion.

o Gaming matrix mode creates 5.1 surround sound from common two-channel stereo sources such as legacy PC games
o Music matrix mode takes two speakers and electronically upmixes to 5.1
* High-performance audio: speakers feature laser-tuned satellites with FDD2 technology
* Precision dual mute controls: weighted, non-skid control pod features independent mute controls that allow for one-touch muting of both audio output and microphone input
