<font color='#000000'>Hey audio guys! I am a computer guru(and an audio n00b, But don't get my wrong, I love good audio. I have some Cambridge 4.1 speaks and a Santa Cruz sound card on my main comp.) from NC. I recently setup a computer in my room and I am looking for some nice speakers for my computer or run the computer through a bookshelf stereo. I don't know which to do because I can get some Creative Labs Inspire 6600 6.1 speakers that connect directly to your computer fairly cheap. I have an SB Live! 5.1 MP3+ sound card in my room computer(I may switch it to a Turtle Beach Santa Cruz). Or I can get a bookshelf stereo/CD player and run the computer through it(I think you can atleast). I figure the bookshelf stereo will have more power to push the speakers. The problem I'm having is that I can't find/know of a good but cheap bookshelf stereo that has atleast four speakers or two speakers with more outputs for two or more speakers. Do you guys think I should stick with the Creative Labs Inspire 6600 6.1 speakers and forget the bookshelf stereo or should I go for a good bookshelf stereo? If the latter, what is a good but cheap(probably less than $150) bookshelf stereo with atleast two speakers and more speaker outputs? I plan to use my computer for TV watching(TV Tuner), MP3/CD playing(if not through the stereo), listening to the radio, either on the TV Tuner or the stereo(whichever picks up best),watching DVD's(DVD drive in the comp.), and regular gaming(such as Quake 3 Arena). Keep in mind that the desk in my room is kind-of small so if you suggest a bookshelf stereo it can't be awfully big. I plan to hang the speakers on the walls, two in front and two in back. My sister has her DVD player running through her stereo so that's why I'm interested in running my comp. through a stereo. Can this be done without a lot of trouble/cost or should I just forget the stereo and get some good computer speakers? Thanks for your help!
