Anybody run across plans for building a 2.1 computer system? I'm interested in upgrading from my cheap Labtecs. Budget is $75.

Any ideas?

Alternatively, if there's an option to buy a great set at that price NIB, I'm all ears.
HT/2-channel Rig: Sony 50” LCD TV; Toshiba HD-A2 DVD player; Emotiva LMC-1 pre/pro; Rogue Audio M-120 monoblocks (modded); Placette RVC; Emotiva LPA-1 amp; Bada HD-22 tube CDP (modded); VMPS Tower II SE (fronts); DIY Clearwave Dynamic 4CC (center); Wharfedale Opus Tri-Surrounds (rear); and VMPS 215 sub

"God grooves with tubes."

    There was a post here, maybe a year ago, someone built an open baffle single driver setup for their desktop. They used a 3" or 4" Hivi driver, and seemed pleased with the results. Add a small sub to the mix, you're golden. As far as amps go, sounds like a $30 chip amp would be the ticket.

    Hi Brad,

    Check out the HiVi B3n or B3s and the Aura NS3. The Tang Band W3-871s is also really good for a small DIY speaker.
