    I've own 3 logitech sets so far and the last one has been working flawlessly for the past 6 years.
    It's only a 2.1 system but it's enough for what I do at the moment.

    The thing I noticed apart for power (watt), go for a sub with a wood enclosure.
    Several of the new kit comes with a plastic/fiberglass enclosure for the sub and it's simply wrong.
    I won't go in details why but if someone want to explain, feel free... I'm lazy.

    Most of the kit I have listened so far, even if they were newer and were suppose to have more power are simply not good enough to overtake my current kit.

    Finally, creative labs do make some wicked combo kit (sound card + speakers/sub).

    I use Altec Lansing sub-woofers with my sound system.
    I love 'em.
    They also have speakers with mini-subs which i use on my computer.

    you can get logitech or altec lansing speakers and sub for under $100 CND

    I've had both, actually I have a 2.1 Altec Lansing on my desktop now and it sounds great. My wife has 5.1 Logitech that are awesome too. I have to say I like the look of hers better. mine were about $30, hers were $40 (on sale) US
