$70 Speakers

Dawg,

I have tried a number of different speaker setups, for a long time that was Sprocket's main function.

Although computer speakers have come a long way, my final ( and best, IMO) solution was to run the signal from my PC to a regular stereo amp and use standard home stereo speakers.

Surround sound is nice, but the wiring is a nightmare.
Just regular speakers work well and have far more bass than typical PC subs.

I got my whole setup at a garage sale for $50.
Old stereo rigs are abundant and cheap.

My friend has his soundblaster running to a $500 reciever, 2 $800 tower speakers, 2 $400 bose speakers, and a $150 sony 12' sub. Hes 15...too rich haha. But I dont have recievers and stuff...

That's a bit of overkill, but nice if you can afford it, I suppose.
My neighbors would have heart attacks if I cranked up a system like that.

So many folks are switching to "home entertainment" systems that I've seen lots of nice stereo rigs just laying around gathering dust.
Seek and ye shall find....

I would'nt bother going for the home cinemia lack for a pc,,their not big enough or the space to benefit properly.

These seem like the best deal...only $65 and 70 watts 5.1....nice
