if you would like to reccomend any in particular my only restraints are that they be mainly silver and cost less than 40 bucks minus shipping

Looks like good speakers for the price, more watts than any other in that price range. watts isn't everything tho. The only reason I would hesitate is that its not a well known brand name. I would look at 2.1 speakers from either logitech or creative. try this one, its slightly less power but the sound quality is probably better.

Watts doesnt mean *(%$ all expisally since everyone is faking it nowadays in the non pro market.

They have perfect reviews, enough to make me get them

http://store.yahoo.com/justdeals/9700852403ref.html
is what ur lookin for as it is 5.1 and the one you picked out is 2.1. my friend has the 5.1 set adn they are very good for the price but do you have a 5.1 sound card? if you do then go with them but if not then stick with what you picked or the second one mentioned by newcents

I wouldn't......

psh you dont need a 5.1 sound card to have surround sound. I have a laptop and 5.1 speakers. I just use 2 Y headphone splitters that i got for 2 bucks at radioshack and yeah it does work.

 

[Apokalipse]

you can have 2.1 'surround', but it doesn't work as well as 5.1 surround.
you're fine for using 5.1 speakers, I would get some Logitech's, as all the Codegen stuff I've used is of low quality

ok... a 5.1 speaker setup does not mean 5.1 speakers (.1 being the sub) it means 5.1 audio channels (subs only take one tenth of a full channel). NewCents you do not have 5.1 sound you have 2.1, the y splitters are making the rear speakers use the same channel as the front one. therefore you do need a 5.1 sound card for 5.1 sound. ok im done. not tryin to make a flame post.
