Speakers for my Laptop
 

I need your help!

I need to get a set of speakers...pretty much like stereo speakers (about a foot tall or so) to plug into my laptop.

What should I get?

Do I need anything special to plug them into my laptop?

Thanks :)

What are you looking to get from the speakers? (meaning, games, music, etc..)

I run a simple set of HK's and they are pretty good for what I need.

Just to play my iTunes very loud!

I run these:

And $8.99 on eBay, even if you hate them...it's no big loss.

I want them for a party on Sunday. They need to be bigger and louder, I think??

This would suit you better. Clear bass, and overall super clear sound from the speakers. LOT of power for 2.1 .

EDIT: this is the one you want: http://cgi.ebay.com/Logitech-Z-2300-...QQcmdZViewItem

If you're not interested in anything portable and something you can use with a desktop after your party need is over, I love my THX Certified Klipsch Pro Medias. I have the 2.1 setup and they sound incredible. They are mucho loud and the sub gives excellent base. They're a little cheaper than they used to be but are still probably around $150. (I got them a few years ago for $80 on clearance :D.) Since you need them quickly, eBay probably won't help you and you can get these at most major tech stores.

Can't do ebay....have to have them on Sunday. Need Best Buy/Circuit City, etc.

Eric showed me these:

They need to be portable...it's for a graduation party on Sunday. The DJ backed out, so they asked me if I could play music. Figured I'd rip my iPod to my laptop and get some speakers. :dunno:

Check out Cambridge Soundworks PC speakers Michelle - they sound incredible although just a bit more costly than most. Definitely work the extra dough IMO - you'll be amazed... They should be pretty much plug n' play on your laptop...
