I have to see how much my paycheck on friday to determine my spending amount. To add in this isn't just for music its also for gamming etc.

Whoever told you that is a goddamn idiot. That computer can do 7.1 easily.
The only computer in my entire house that doesn't have the inputs for 5.1/7.1 is an eight-year-old dying Pentium 4. 2.4ghz, 256mb ram, 120gb hard disk. yeah, OLD.
Pretty much all computers started having the inputs for surround sometime around 2005-2006.

Okay, these are a little above your $100 price tag ($120), but I think they're worth every penny.

They're 2.1, blah blah, but if you're just listening for music, they're perfect. Nice big sub too. I don't know why people are saying Logitech is shit either, because these speakers ****ing own pretty hard -- been using them for a couple years.

I've got a similar system: http://techgage.com/reviews/logitech...zcinema_01.jpg

The sound quality and all that is great, meets my needs in that aspect but the driver drives me insane. The driver runs as an application on my taskbar, and will remain on top of all your windows until it's minimized. There have also been several occasions where the driver would refuse to work. It would show up as a process, but not on my task bar and wouldn't service my speakers. I've had other friends with other Logitech products (mainly USB speakers giving problems), that would run into similar problems with starting up or it would appear to work but take no sound although everything is configured correctly, or even have sound cut out all together randomly. Might just have a bad bunch of their products but it's enough for me to stay away from Logitech. Would have looked into my speakers before I would have bought them but they were a gift.

Yea i really wanted those pair too but i have paypal so i can't use amazon >.<

I just linked you to the set on Amazon, that doesn't mean you have to buy it there.

Seriously though, it's my honest recommendation and it's really close to your price range. You will not purchase a better set for less than $120.

[foilman8805]

They have it for $99 on Buy.com, but I bet the shipping is outrageous.

EDIT: Yeah, lmfao shipping is $60. Don't buy from there.

with some digging you could get what I suggested for 120ish )

Okay so actually guys the price jacked up to a whopping 200$+ dollars. My paycheck was alot better than expected. So 200-250 range.

[who_cares973]

then definitely go with what i suggested

except go with a better receiver and some slightly newer speakers. the cable is only a buck and you can get it for 4-8 dollars at radio shack

The one link from earlier got removed =/. But out of the everything i have seen i am going to get this antec rockus 3d soundscience. I have heard the best things about these speakers when comming to sound and overall design.

[who_cares973]

I would probably still recommend the Eagle set I posted earlier but do give this a look. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16836113029

Maybe it's just me but I've had a bit of bad luck with Altec Lansing. Bought one pair of speakers and RMA'd them twice (third one worked fine for 6 years). So I dunno. 200w though. Powerful shit. But this particular set is kinda fugly. Meh. You decide. Periods. Punctuation. -_-
