    Any opinions on which external speakers to pic up? Looking to spend under 125, and prefer a 2.1 setup

    I got a set of Altec Lansing MX-5021 open box at Circuit City for around $80. At the time they cost about $175 online. They discontinued them after introducing the MX-6021 so if you can find them you can probably get them really cheap. They are awesome in my opinion, only complaint is that remote is a little weak if not pointing straight at base and volume control isn't real precise.

    You simply have to get the Logitech X-540's! They are a fantastic set of 5.1 speakers at a budget price. They may be a bit more expensive then your budget, but believe me, COMPLETELY worth it (I'd know cause I have them myself). I got them from Future Shop when they were on sale for about $129.99, but I think you could still go even cheaper if you search harder like at Newegg or something.
