pc surround sound speaker question

[jedis_ghost]

Hello all,

In my game room I have two computers that my wife and I play various games head two head. We are thinking about purchasing some 5.1 surround sound speakers. My question is: if I were to buy two sets of these speakers and install 1 on each PC(PC's are in basement about 6' apart) would the sounds produced from the game be all messed up from two signals? Sould I just buy one set and use nice but cheap stereo speakers for the other PC.

Thanks for your time

No, there shouldn't be any problems. However, it might get confusing if you turn them up to blasting loud levels. I prefer to game with headphones. With a good set of headphones, you can hear EVERYTHING going on and you don't disturn the other person/people gaming.
