Q&A: What is the best sound system for a PC I could get for under $100?

Question by MetallicStar: What is the best sound system for a PC I could get for under 0?
I know that’s not much, but I’m not expecting a 2 grand sound setup, but I was wondering what the best one for the money I could get would be?
Here’s one I’ve come up with how does it look?

Answer by The Eagle Keeper
I’ve never heard a PC sound system worth a damn no matter what speakers are connected to it. The problem with PC sound systems is always poor quality. Sound cards do only enough to make noise, not quality sound. That’s what a dedicated home theater is for. Logitech is all about hype. They sell tons of junk from China. I would never in a million yrs bother with Logitech brand speakers. I bought a crappy pair of Bose Media Mates years ago & they are adequate. For $ 82.99 your gonna get what you pay for. Don’t expect them to last very long. You’ll either toss them for lack of quality or ear fatigue. I realize you want a nice surround package, but lets take a better look at what your doing. No PC n this planet that I have ever seen can do the job of a decent well thought out designed surround system. No cinema that I have ever been too was assembled in one day from one box of goods. I treat my home cinema like a hobby & I have spent yrs making it on a shoe string budget. I buy what I can as funds allow it. My home cinema has a current insured value of about $ 8K USD. In quantity it’s not much, but in quality it’s all there. And not one damn thing is made in China. I’ve made it a point of that. Good day Sir!
