Hi Justin,
I have a Benwin <www.benwin.com> set of powered flat-panel speakers I
bought
two years ago for about $40 from MacZone. <www.maczone.com> I wouldn?t
play
the 1812 Overture through them but they play my iTunes collection of ?60s
rock ?n? roll at comfortable volume levels.
I checked MacZones' web site and they offer a similar set (Benwin CLT-30)
for $35. See the following web page:
http://www.maczone.com/cgi-bin/zones/site/product/index.html?id=000554430
Clicking ?View Similar Products? on that page will show 20 or so other
powered speakers priced up to about $100.
A lot of other vendors offer audio systems for computers but this should
start you off.
Keep in mind you want ?powered? speakers since the amplifiers in your
laptop
will not provide enough power to drive external speakers.
Good luck
Bill King
