I just built another PC for a relative (I'm starting to enjoy this!) ...

Anyway, with the case came a few plastic bags with standoffs, screws and so on. Handy.

But one of the items is a thick metal ring (torus) about the diameter of a Euro coin and about twice as thick.

What is that for?

Hm..

It may have something to do with sound quality. For example:

But what does that John Smith character mean when he says:

"put around the coiled cable"

!?!?

It means that you take the cable and coil it around and through the open ring.  It creates inductance which reduces resistance.

But, *what* cable? There's quite a few in there grin

Usually the speaker cable.  They aren't really needed anymore so I wouldn't worry to much about it.
