If they do have the unbalanced RCA inputs, then go to radio shack and buy a mini jack to stereo RCA adapter for a few bucks. Then you can just plug that adapter into your headphone output on your computer, then just use any stereo RCA cable to run to your monitors.
So finally got around to checking the speakers I plan on getting [http://amzn.com/B000979TV0] and I'm pretty sure they use RCA inputs. I was thinking about just getting an audio interface after all [http://amzn.com/B002QQC1ZI], or do you think I should get the adapter like how you described in the 2nd paragraph?
