The speakers will probobly be used for games/music/videos, probobly music the most though, because I'm almost always listening to music.

alright, thanks, I don't really like Creative, but that's just me, I got a Zen Vision:M and have been trying to get them to exchange it FOREVER, so yeah, I probobly won't get a Creative, unless they're really good and my Vision:M crapped out for some really rare reason.

Logitech works here the best while I couldn't do without Koss headphones for late night gaming. They also carry pc speakers of course. But Logitech, JBL/Harman Karden, Phillips, and Altec Lansing are seen there in your price range.

I bought a Logitech Z-640 setup with a woofer, front and rear pairs, and a small center with the volume and balance controls, off/on switch for center mix, and of course the head phone jack in convenient reach. At the time that was over the $50 mark at a show. You should be able to make a good decision without a hassle there.

if you can squeeze to the logitech x530s, then you will have a nice set of speakers for a great price

actually, I just realized that my budget is a lot lower than I thought, so I'll probobly be going to the arc or something to get some, they arn't going to be great, but they'll work and they'll be less than $5.

Are you looking for a simple pair or something that offers surround sound? :confused:
Some sets have a woofer along with the pair that sits on either side of the monitor. For 5.1 Surround the Logitech models seen earlier perform great for movie playback, music, and gaming too.

It would be cool if ther was surround sound, but for now I'm just going to get some simple speakers. Once I get a job in 2 years, I am DEFFINITALLY getting surround sound.

The Logitech speaker sets on the links posted earlier are both 5.1 surround setups. If you have room for the four main(front/rear), woofer, and center with power, volume, center volume, center on/off, and head phone jack right there on your desk those will give you some high end quality without the high end price tag. Late at night those Koss made head phones come in handy.

yeah, thanks. Do you know of any good wireless speakers? that'd be kind of goo to not have wires going all over the place. Since I'm not getting good ones untill I get a job, price doesn't matter that much.

In two years though I bet that they'll have some high quality, wireless speakers that don't cut out for about $100-$200. That'd be great.

Eventually you will see the price even on those drop graatly. They always do! What was seen on the Z-640 set there was a 33 1/3% drop in price from what was paid at a pc show. Logitech is an excellent brand to look into though. If you don't want or need 10 booming speakers you can try a two or two with woofer set for the wired ones. Wireless on anything is "Pricey"!
