Computer Speakers

[trnqk7]

Anyone have some suggestions for computer speakers? Looking to keep it under $100, preferably ~$50. Just looking for a 2.0 setup (with on-board amp) for office use. Perhaps it won't matter what I get at the low levels I will be listening at, but I'd like something that at least sounds decent. These will be an online purchase through Amazon most likely b/c of a gift certificate-so not really got get out there and worry about listening to computer speakers. Just wanting some opinions on what others have heard and liked.

I've heard good things about M-Audio speakers.

I noticed those as well, only concern was size...a little over budget, but what does anyone think of these?

I think they would work as they have a auxiliary line in for non-ipod players, so I would assume that my sound card could fill that function quite nicely.

logitech Z-2300 looks to have some good reveiw but it is a 2.1 system.

I have a Logitech THX system. Two speakers and a sub. My office can rock the socks off of many home theater systems! Okay, not many HERE, but my home office is a sound bomb!

I went ahead with the Kef Picoforte-1 system. It should arrive this Friday. I'm pretty excited to try Kef's stuff and to have such a good (hopefully) sound system for near field listening.
