Only a couple of years ago, PC gamers were restrained to a measley 2 speaker set, not even amplified, leaving gamers with very shallow sound effects and music quality. However, with the ever-increasing popularity of MP3 audio along with a general increase in the number of computer users in general, the desire to have high quality speaker systems for the computer has grown tremendously. Manufacturers have responded with more powerful systems carrying lower and lower prices.

MidiLand, a renown speaker system manufacturer, has really started to provide speaker systems for all price ranges. They provide excellent high, mid, and low price range speaker systems. MidiLand is all about value and quality--and so, they have provided us with a very slick MidiLand MLi-490 speaker set.

MidiLand designed the MLi-490 for gamers and peripheral savvy consumers. This system isn't meant for the decivel hungry audophile. If a listener desires satisfactory sound reproduction and multi-channel input that won't cost more than a car payment, the MLi-490 is their system.

Specifications
The MidiLand MLi-490 packs quite a punch for the price. Below are the full specs on this speaker set:

MidiLand MLi-490
RMS Power Total 70W, Satellite 10W + 10W + 10W + 10W Subwoofer 30W
Frequency Response 20Hz - 20kHz+3dB Satellites
Input Sensitivity 300mVrms
P.M.P.O. 1000W
Drivers 3" Full range satellite speakers, 6.5" Subwoofer
Power Supply AC adapter
Function Controls Power/volume, subwoofer volume, LED power indicator
Dimensions (WxHxD) 3.94" x 4.73" x 4.33" Satellites
13.78" x 7.68" x 8.46" Subwoofer

The MLi-490's total system power of 70Watts compares fairly well against the competition, with the FPS1000 sporting 24watts and the ACS-54's 40watts of total power. This right here proves that MidiLand has already beat the competition in raw power alone.
