Good Lowbudget Speakers? 2.1 or 5.1?

[BigGoose2006]

I just finished building myself a new computer. Here are the specs:

-Asus P4P800E-deluxe
-PentiumVI 2.8 w/ 800fsb
-2x 512mb DDR400 PC3200 Samsung
-120Gb ATA100 WD1200BB 7200rpm
-LiteOn 52x32x52
-Creative Sound Blaster Live! DE5.1
-ATI Radeon9800 128Mb Pro
-PF775B PerfectFlat ViewSonic Monitor
-Antec TruePower 430watt

I got it all for $1200. Now I need some speakers. I have the small budget of $90-$100 so are there any good 5.1 speakers for such a price range? Probably not, never know. What about 2.1? I know very little about speakers so some explaining about what makes speakers good would be nice. Also how good is my sound card? Suggestions please. Thanks.

nice rig. look into logitech if they have any 5.1 speakers for that price, they should.

here's a nice ass set for a cheap ass price:

I got a set of 2.1 Altec Lansing speakers with a subwoofer for $10 at staples. Funny thing is, HP is selling them for $120.

I like the $55 Logitec 5.1. They look nice and you can't beat the price. Could someone who owns a set tell me what they are like? Though if they have 5 stars with 433 votes at Newegg I can't see them being bad. I was planning on spending $90 for nice 2.1 so I definitly won't get cheap-@ss $10 speakers?!

They aren't cheap ass speakers. The origional price for them is $70, but I got them down to $10 after rebates and crap, and they were brand new. You just have to shop around, you can find some awesome deals that way.

now that i mention it, my friend has those exact speakers. theyre just like my sexeh z-5300's, except no remote control, and not as loud or as much bass power. but the 5.1 sounds crisp as hell. when i say not as loud i mean it cant go as loud as mine can (mine can probably bring down a building, or be used at a club)

Sorry Sedako, I wasn't kidding when I said I knew nothing about speakers! Thanks for the advice guinny, I think you already have me sold on the Logitech Z640 5.1 Speakers. Great Price.
