Recommended way to drive pair of R50s?

Hello,
I recently received a pair of R50s as a gift but don't have a means of powering them. I want to use them strictly for music so I was considering running either SPDIF or lineout/headphone out from my laptop. To complicate matters I'm on a college budget, ~$100 so I think my options are severely limited. I have no problem going either refurbished or used, but don't know what I should look at. I've heard basic amp, given my intended use, is the way to go. Would something like this be too weak? Can anyone recommend anything?

If you have an ipod or portable CD / MP3 player I'd suggest buying a Sonic Impact amplifier: LINK
You may be able to find them on ebay too.
This option leaves you money for cables. Try out BJC: LINKHT Speakers: Polk S15 * Polk S35 * RSL Speedwoofer 12S
HT: Samsung 75QN90B * Marantz NR1510 * Panasonic DMP-BDT220 * Roku Ultra * APC H10
2-Channel Audio: Von Schweikert VR-2 * Musical Fidelity M2si * WiiM Ultra * FiiO K11 R2R DAC
Vinyl: Technics SL-50C * Denon DL-110 MC * iFi Zen Phono 3 * KAB RF1
Video: LG OLED77B4PUA * Sony BDP-S470 * Roku Ultra * APC H10
