Nice Desktop speakers/surround sound.

Any sleek nice looking/small(but good sound) ones someone can point me in direction to? Want to get a nice looking set,dont really have much room for a surround setup but if they are small i suppose i could fit them in.Would prefer to get them maybe over weekend instead of ordering of the net.So if someone could give me there opinions on this id appreciate it.

thanks in advance.

yeah although it is 2.1 only Creative L3500 looks beautiful... check their online shop, or if you don't want to be delayed by postage, you can get Creative producst for similar price from Peats in Parnell St...

Can't see them on Peats. Can see the I-Trigue 3450 though for €129. They don't look as nice IMHO. As for the I-Trigue 3500, I got mine from Komplett.ie for €119 inc shipping. They sound good enough for my purposes ie gaming and some music. Sure they aren't the last word in PC sound quality but for that you have to invest 2 or 300 euro for the likes of klipsch. I have to admit that for me my primary criteria for buying these was aesthetics first to go with the new Dell 2405 monitor I'm getting and sound quality second. God I'm so shallow.

After I ordered them but before they were delivered I found a review on the PC Format website and as I read, I was starting to really worry. for 99% of the review, they went on about the type of person that would buy these, ie someone shallow who judges things by how they look and not how they perform, someone who wanted something pretty on the desk to match their flat panel, someone who liked their PC Desk in their fashionably decorated lounge to look the part while all they used the computer for was downloading emails etc etc. I was feeling very self concious at this stage of the review. thankfully the last few lines of the review made me feel a bit better. They finished with..."Just as well then that even though the typical buyer of these speakers placed aesthetics over performance in their buying decision, they got lucky cause these speakers actually sound great etc etc" .....or words to that effect, ie. "The best-looking speakers Creative has ever made, and they sound just dandy, too"

Lucky for me too!! :D
