I purchased the Creative Soundworks (two of those "mini-speakers", like the Altec Lansing 45.1, with subwoofer and a neat in-line volume control) for $39.95 at Staples for my kid's gaming system (hey, I hadda cut corners SOMEWHERE!). I gotta tell ya, pretty good sound for a cheap price. More vibrant IMO than the Labtec's listed above or that IBM 5 point system (which EVERYONE seems to be discounting these days).
