Creative Technology FPS1000 4.1 Speakers

The Goods: Cheap at $100, you get a full fledged surround sound speaker that can make you feel like you're in a theater. Using a 4 point capable sound card SoundBlaster Live!, you'll be able to immerse yourself in all the sound effects the newest games can offer. I can hear a bullet moving from forward left to back right, a car coming up from behind. It can really make a difference between a good experience and a realistic experience. The subwoofer is deep and powerful, I can't even turn it up to full volume without damaging my eardrums. Lastly, you also have a convenient volume control for the speakers.

The Bad: Thin wiring makes this speaker a no-no in a house with pets. My kittens clawed through the back speaker's wires on the first night. Luckily I was able to patch the wires back together. The stands for the back speakers are made of cheap plastic and are very flimsy. Try to keep all the speakers on a wall or some other support.

All in all, this is a great speaker to be had. Be sure to survey your setup before actually installing this speaker. Good planning will help you create a great sound system for your PC.
