Sleek 2.1 Speakers under $50 to use with AC-97 for Music?

[SleepyGreggy]

I have about $50 to spend. Occasionally I want to play some music and it's not too fun with headphones on and if you're not alone. I have great headphones (DSP-500's) for gaming, etc. What i'm seeking is a 2.1 setup that not only plays music well but also looks sleek and modern.

Thanks

Altec Lansing or Logitech have a few sets that will do what you want.

Like the Z340's? But they're so damn ugly..

For $50 you don't have much choice in the looks category. $50 gets you functionality not personality.

Enhanced ATP 3
Versatile 221

What's wrong with how the z-340s look?

i definitely think the ATP3 sound better than the Z340. i think they are on sale at staples this week with a rebate or something. go check it out.

consider getting a decent card too if possible. i used on-board sound before but even the SB Live value sounds a lot better
