I bought Acoustic Energy AEG02 and they're great.
You can get them for around 100 UK Pounds.
They are a whole lot better than any Logitech, Creative or whatever.
They are not 5, 6 or7.1 surround speakers though.
Just a good solid 2.1 system.
That means 2 small satellite speakers that sit on your desk or whatever that provide the stereo soundstage and a subwoofer that you can hide under the desk.
Don't put the subwoofer right in a room corner though, you'll end up with "one note bass", in other words horrid boomy bass that isn't tuneful. Experiment with the location of the subwoofer until it sounds the way you want it to.
These used to sell for 3 times the price but have been reduced, probably because there's a "better" model on it's way.
I use mine with a Gigabyte KA8-NXP-9 motherboard that has a built in Realtek AC97 sound card and SPDIF in & out..
In spite of other comments made elsewhere, I find it sounds excellent, no noise problems at all. This isn't always the case with built in sound cards, some are really rubbish.
I also have a 2.1 Cambridge Research set of speakers with a digital optical input ( SPDIF ). These are excellent as well, but not as good as the AE's.
Neither set can be compared to a good set of proper HiFi speakers and a decent amplifier though.
My Mission 733 floorstanders and Yamaha AX-596 amp blow them both out of the water.
The Acoustic Energy's can play LOUD though!
Oops.. forgot to mention that I also have a set of Altec - Lansing's.
Again it's a 2.1 set and I forget the model number.
Bought as "customer returns - faulty" at a computer fair for £5.
They are good as well.

Well, if it has a decent sound card, then get yourself some 5.1 speakers, if it has integrated sound then go for some nice... 2.1 speakers. I wouldn't spend $150 on speakers UNLESS you have a nice sound card (anything in an Audigy, anything) of course speakers are always best paired with the X-Fi sound card... anyway...
I like the Logitech X-530s. You can get 2.1 THX certified speakers if you were so inclined but again... NOT UNLESS you have a nice sound card. It's not just the speakers that contribute to the quality, it's the sound card as well. I can't stop you, but it's not something I nor any other mediaholic or gamer would do.

Not really about buying the most expensive, but you will have to fork out quite a bit for a descent set and you might want to connect an amplifier on your PC, then hook up some speakers on there. I'd recommend "Bose", "B&W" or "JM Lab".

Go for cheap - if you bought a Packard Bell, it's not going to last that long anyway.

The most expensive you can afford. Seriously. I always get the cheapest, and I've gone through 4 sets in less than a year.
