I will warn you that starting a HT system is almost as bad as starting crack habit because you'll want the rest of it (center, sub, rears) so, so bad.

food, rent for my apartment, and more school bills than i care to have 😛

Then just be satisfied with the speakers you already have. No reason to spend money unless you are taking a big step forward, which in this case, you are not.

How far away will the speakers be for "HT" use?

well im in a fairly small room (dorm room, maybe 20x12?

So how far away will the speakers be? 6 feet? 8 feet? 4 feet?

~4 feet, maybe more depending on arrangement

QFT, also, I doubt you will notice any difference between a new set of speakers that were <100. Save money and put it into something you really care about (hobby, school, gf, etc)

A bad habit I have is having TOO many hobbies. Expensive hobbies too. 🙁

Grab a cheap and/or used receiver and get started on these (you WILL need a sub):

If your wood-working sucks, you can just cut a hole into a flat piece and run them open baffle (gotta size it big, though).
