I've been looking around the web for ideas on how to add a surround sound system for my computer desk. I'm not just talking about buying the speakers, i want the rear ones behind me as well, but i don't wanna run wires all the way across my room. I was thinking about mounting two speakers behind my computer chair but I imagine the wires would get in the way. Post any ideas you might have or pictures of your setups.

Just run the wire around edge of the room. They usually come with long wires, if not you can extend it with any speaker wire...

If you have a carpeted floor it's easy to hide the wire, just took it in the corner of the floor between the baseboard and the carpet.

Yea that was always my last resort. I live in an apartment with a roommate so I didn't want speaker vibrating off the walls. I was mainly just looking for a cool 5.1 computer setup, Searching came up with nothing.

You can use speaker stands to put the speakers behind you, but run the cords in the baseboards behind the carpet. Like this:

Or you could do this: :P
