Well, right now im just sitting in front of my laptop. I do have plans on buying a TV or a projector, that would be my next project after I setup my sound system. I want a surround sound all over the room even though im only watching on a laptop. I will also use the sound system for music. I listen more compared to watching. Not too loud though as I only live in an apartment for now.

Yes they are all computer speaker systems. Not sure with the room size though, I have plans on moving somewhere else by December. But I think I'd still fall for the 10x10 room. Yes my laptop has optical out. But i'm buying this express card. http://us.creative.com/products/product.asp?category=1&subcategory=208&product=16642&nav=1 http://us.creative.com/products/product.asp?product=16741&dcs.acsF_P=Sound%20Blaster%20X-Fi%20Xtreme%20Audio%20Notebook&dcs.acsF_A=Surround

Hi! You might be able to help me. I have been surfing the internet for about 5 hours a day, searching for the best speakers that would suit me. I was going for Gigaworks S750, but its a hard to find. Second choice was Klipsch Promedia 5.1 Ultra, yet another hard to find. Third choice is the Logitech's Z5500, easy to find.. but a lot of negative reviews. So I was wondering if I should just get the Z5500 or setup my own 5.1/7.1 sound system by buying satellite speakers and subwoofers seperately
