NFT: Anyone know of some affordable decent computer speakers?

[BigVE]

Been searching around and dont really know what's best for the buck. Maybe in the 50 dollar range, give or take. Ideas?

[Buck]

Craigslist always has computer peripherals (sp?) for cheap.

[BigVE]

Any certain brands that have bad reps? Altec and Creative labs are all over the place.

Either of those will do nicely. I have these:

Also available in 5.1 (I don't have a 5-channel card so I got the 2.1):

Those 2.1s are all over ebay for about the same price. I have NO idea if I can handle the 5.1 so I'm betting I should not go with them.

I have my PC hooked up to a bookshelf stereo system.

I'm betting you're just using motherboard sound, and don't have 5 channels.

Personally I have no use for 5 channels anyway. 2.1 is fine for me. I use my headphones quite a bit anyway.

Do you have a soundcard or built in sound? The majority of soundcards are 2.1 tho so if you have not put money out on a soundcard then you should stick to the ones on ebay to be on the safe side.

Either way..... Logitech makes good stuff.

[BigVE]

Thanks alot for your help guys. I'm watching those 2.1's on ebay...could buy 'em now for a good price but will wait a day or two.

[Archie F. Swin]

I got these for $49 (http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-2-Piece-Speakers-Ported-Subwoofer/dp/B0002SQ0A4) at Circuit City on Saturday. They sound excellent!

I actually say that when giving out free technical support to my friends and family. LMAO

Go with 2.1's in the $50 or less range. You'll lose all of your quality adding the extra 80,000 speakers for the larger sets.
