I say you go for headphones..I have Ezonics 5.1 surround sound..they work very well

[TheColdWar]

Headphones are the way to go especially for FPS's (Logitechs are Awesome) but if you plan on watching movies or listening to music or have no restrictions on the volume of your speakers then go with the desktop speakers as for which brands I would recommend: Logitech (Great all over performance for the price), Bose (Great High and Mids, Bass sucks), Klipsh (Cream of the Crop expensive though).

if your not looking for anything big i would check out frys electronics stores, and comp usa's.

Here is an example

they sell shit like that, i would go with logitech/Zenith for sound quality. At leaste thats what the D-bags at comp usa told me.

I have 4.1 surround sound with creative speakers and a creative soundcard.

Its tight for watching movie, i actually thought someone was outside once, while i was watching LOTR...damn orcs!

But for playing its not as good as my half and half headphones, even though they are broken.

If you do buy them, be prepared for goat to give you hell whenever you are in-game talking on vent.

Im looking for speakers for movies and what not to go with my hd projector. I plan on buying new headphones too. But for right now just movie speakers.

Logitech will be your best bang for the buck hands down.

I've got the Logitech X-530 set, full 5.1, nice sub, for $60 you can't go wrong.

[XtremeRevolution]

By far the best quality speakers I've seen in a long time is Creative's Inspire 7.1 Series. I use the Inspire 7.1 T7700 back in Chicago, and have been using them for the past 2.5 years. I seriously can't complain about anything except for the sub, which is some 48W peak 6.5" sub. I hotwired the sub output to the input on two 12" Powered subwoofers to take care of that problem quite nicely. The two subs were 200W Peak (100W RMS) for $80 each, and definitely do a good enough job of making up for the lack of bass in that system. The whole thing is pretty cheap.

Otherwise, I just upgraded someone's system for them with a Logitech Z-5300e system (280W 5.1 Surround).

It sounds really nice on the X-Fi Platinum sound card too. The bass could be a bit deeper, but its pretty nice overall, and the mids are exceptional. For $135, I seriously couldn't complain.

Then again, I'm not sure how well some of these PC multimedia speakers will run off of a 2-channel input in 5.1 or 7.1 surround mode. All I can tell you with 100% certainty is that your speakers will only sound as good as your sound card. A good sound card is crucial, and this is coming from a guy who bought an X-Fi Platinum over an Audigy 2 NX and saw a HUGE difference. My onboard 5.1 surround is serious shit compared to my X-Fi. Just a bit of a suggestion if you can afford a good sound card.

I have an Audigy 2 ZS for sale if anyone wants it too btw. Just name your price.
