So you're not up for a little drive?

How much space do you have? Are you looking for a nice pair of left and right speakers, or are you thinking a sub-woofer as well?

Will this be using on-board audio or do you have a sound card?

plenty of space; desktop has a sound card; laptop is whatever is built in

probably just a decent 2 speaker setup would suffice

Then probably pretty much anything would do.

I've found that if you can flick the side of the speaker with your finger and it doesn't sound "tinny" then it probably won't sound too bad.

Here is a link to Dell speakers sorted by user ratings. Start at the top and scroll down until you find something in your price range.

If if you need something a little more immediate, I've had a couple pairs of small Harmon Kardon desktop speakers that I like the sound out of. I got the last pair from Future Shop on sale.

Just let me know what you need.

For the record, I don't sell drugs. But will accept pot as payment instead of cash in some cases if its good pot.
