woah, this turned into a flame war.... The reason I want a 5.1 system is for surround sound. I was searching around the CompUSA website and I found this system that sounds nice: http://www.compusa.com/products/product ... i#moreinfo It looks like it doesn't need cables and from talking to my computer teacher, Logitech is a good brand(he has logitech speakers on his computer) The system I found is 5.1 and thats what I want. It is also under $300 so it is the right price.
