Computer Speakers

[dimtim]

Hey guys I'm in the market for a set of 2 or 2.1 computer speakers. I really don't care about sound that much because most of the time I will be using my 5.1 system. The three things I would like to have are:

1. The power button, volume knob, and headphone jack on one of the
satellites and easily accessible.
2. The cables to be nice and long so that the speakers don't have to be
super close together.
3. Black in color

If anyone can recommend a pair of computer speakers that fits these requirements I would very much appreciate it.

Thanks a ton
Tim

I don't know where you live at, but these are some Altec Lansing speakers from a California mail order company. They have other brands also.

If on a budget, the 40 watt Cyber Acoustics CA-3550 are a great value.

These speakers sound fantastic playing games or music. The Volume, Bass, Power, and Headphone jack is located on one of the satelites. Having a separate power button allows you to maintain a steady volume instead of having volume and power in the same control. The headphone jack is concealed on the side of the speaker. They look great and include 7 foot speaker cabling.
