Creative Sound BlastX Katana review: The soundbar finally makes its way to PCs

By and large, the PC has stuck to 3.5mm input dual-speaker systems, occasionally with a subwoofer included. But for some reason the soundbar hasn't made its way to desktop PCs, even as it's become a hit with everyone else. Razer sort-of made an attempt with its Leviathan a few years ago, but even that was more geared towards the living room. So Creative isn't stretching the truth too far when it calls its new Sound BlasterX Katana the first "Under-Monitor Audio System." Sure, you could still use it in your living room--it's got all the necessary inputs, and it gets damn loud (more on that later). The Katana is meant for desks though.
