small amp for 2.1 computer audio (svs ultra)

I'm looking for a compact-sized amplificator to use with a 2.1 computer audio system

Speakers = 2 SVS Ultra or 2 LCR-750
Subwoofer = PSB SubSeries 125

The biggest concern is the size restriction, i have limited room available under my desk
- Maximum 12" width
- Maximum 6" height
- Maximum 18" depth
- no fan / totally silent

I am totally noob at this, i never bought an amp before (beside AVR for home theater system).
I don't need any fancy features and the amp will always be connected ONLY to the computer. I don't need airplay or any wireless feature, just an audio input to hook it to my computer. I'm not the kind of guy who play a lot with audio settings and equalizer, most of the time i use default settings (on my HT i just ran audissey and didn't adjust anything)

Any recommendation ?

Thanks for the suggestions !
Budget would be around $500
Also, i realised i would really prefer an unique button that you turn from left to right to adjust the volume (instead of separate buttons to raise/lower the volume)

If you need a balance control you need an integrated amp or a preamp and power amp combo! This is the matching preamp to the power amp that I recommended!

Many software applications include a balance control, including Windows itself.

cleeds,
Why is the OP asking for that option on an amp?

Why would he???
