[QUOTE="kaidomac, post: 188999, member: 15110"] Hmm, that makes it a little more difficult since you need either a system with digital inputs or a sound card with the 3-wire 5.1 output for analog surround sound. I used to have the Logitech z-640s speakers, which sounded really good for low-cost computer speakers (5.1, sells for about $60 online); I believe their successor is the Logitech X-530 system. Only downside is that the colors won't match the white iMac enclosure ;) You'll need some kind of USB or Firewire sound card with the 3-wire output to get real surround sound out of those sets, however. You might try looking for a cheap HTIB (Home Theater in a Box) that you can pass digital output to (plus you can get those in silver or white, which is a little more Mac-friendly). [/QUOTE]
