Best computer system?

[livinlegend 10+ year member]

I currently own a logitech z-5300 and it bangs, even with the 6-8" subwoofer and tiny 4" speaker satellites its nice for a computer system - everyone that listens to it agrees even though they aren't audiophiles.

We are moving into a new house soon and I am looking to upgrade my computer / future surround sound system and sell my current one.

The logitech z-5500 looks very enticing, it's supposed to be like my system but somewhat better.

I am going to buy a creative Audigy 2 NX USB soundcard to get the most sound quality out of it. Obviously can't use onboard sound for great SQ.

Any other recommendations for an amazing 5.1 system like this one? It's supposedly one of the best made for computers

Also the z-5500 is going to have digital outs so it will be able to be swapped from a laptop to a 42" LCD/Plasma no problem, which makes it even more enticing. Imagine getting amazing SQ in videogames and music, and then connecting to your TV to get great 5.1 sound as well. I can't wait! But I also want to see if someone has better recs than the system I found.

A better one would be a pair of these and a small sub

I got it and love it. Use it for my TV, computer, and the 360 with the high def drive as well.

That would give you 4.1 with no receiver.

seems like it would be 2.1 if they are crossed over on the inside with a single power wire coming out of the speaker. 2.1 would be a step down IMO
