    I'd suggest either the Z623 or the Z523. Both are wonderful Logitech products and I use them with my pc and home media system. The Z623 which is my home media speakers is a little over 100 bucks but has 200 watts and THX certified while the Z523 which is my pc speakers is well under 100 bucks but does not have 200 watts or THX. Bother are excellent either way. However I might have to recommend the Z523 for pc gaming if you have no need for 200 watts or THX.

    For that price, i'd definitely go with a logitech Z506 5.1 set-up. They are very good.

    Logitech Z623 gets my vote. I have a pair and they rock my entire room!

    Yea the Z623s rock all right. I find myself adjusting the volume whenever I watch movies like Red or one of the Bond flicks due to how much they rock.

    If you don't mind 2.1 and don't mind spending a little extra, the Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 is an incredible speaker setup and very highly rated. I wish you posted this last week when the ProMedia's from Best Buy were on sale for $99. They're still worth the extra $40 though.

    The ProMedia 2.1 are very nice, the mids and highs are unbeatable in the PC speakers lineup ESPECIALLY for the price, however... as a basshead myself, I despise the choice of their 6.5" woofer. It bottoms out too quickly and doesn't pack enough deepness and drops out very early on the low notes. The Z623 can handle bass much better from its 7" driver with a larger box and tuned lower, but doesn't put out as much mids and highs as the ProMedia due to its separate midrange and horn tweeter design.

    Those speakers or any home theater speakers of your choice will work with this amp.  Buy the 'frequently bought together" section for PC's on analog connections.  The total price is at the OP's boundaries.

    For computer speakers I like cyber acoustics.  Not top of the line by any means but they are a fantastic value, performance per dollar.

    Any of those cheap-o Logitech speakers sound pretty darn good. I've used them forever. Cant beat what you get for the price if you go to amazon.
