Computer speakers?

I was in the same position. Try the Infinty Beta 10's and drive them with a parasound sound Zamp, the version 3 has 45 or 50 watts per channel. You do the whole combo for under 500 bucks and get decent PC sound. Spend a bit more and get a better sound card too from EMU or M-audio; both widely available on the web.

AudioEngine. Anybody want to buy a Logitech 5.1 system? ;-)

Look at Tapco as a lower cost alternative for pro-style near field monitors. You can get them real cheap at B&H photo video and they sell some good stands there too. The only reason I haven't ordered them is that I almost always use headphones anyway and I buy too much stuff I hardly use as it is.
