Hey guys I'm looking for a nice set of speakers for my computer...also I'd like to be able to hook them up to a laptop when I get mine for college (probably going for an ibook or powerbook) can you point me in the direction of some good sets?
Preferably with a subwoofer but not necessary

creative makes good speakers. i have a creative 2.1 (2 powered satellite and a sub) system that costs around $70 at walmart, sounds pretty good for being a basic computer system. i'd like to do a DIY computer speaker system though.

Ya I don't know about Bose either, I knew someone who bought one of those 'bose wave radio' things. I think they paid almost 300 for it, and it sounded no better then any other 100 stereo you could buy at walmart.
They took it back and got something else, and are actually much happier with it.

Yeah, Henry Kloss and Boston Acoustics have much better options for a clock radio.

yeah I always thought Bose was superior until I read a couple articles on them. They just hyped their name up and it worked...everyone i talk to and say "Bose" they think of nice, high end shit.
