I want to upgrade the small audio system that originally came with my cube ... but I find the Harman Kardon SoundSticks a bit overpriced.

Any alternative ? I need a USB system since the cube has no audio port.

Thanks

I also use the Griffin iMic to hook my Cube up to my home stereo system. But I also had to get a ground-loop isolator cable because the sound signal had a ground-loop hum. The isolator (in the U.S. it's a $15 cable obtainable at any electronics store) fixed the problem.

I use an Apple AV cable to connect from the iMic to the isolator.
