They are Logitech X-530's. You can't see the sub in this pic but it's there. I am very impressed with this little system. It sounds great!

your left and right are switched around. the one with the knobs needs to be on the right, and the other on the left. unless of course theres only room for the sub on that side, than oh well. nice looking setup btw.

I have a pair of those but just the 2.1 system, not the 5.1. They are pretty good, especially for the price, however I am looking to change them because they just don't look great next to my lovely iMac!

I have the smaller version of those (two desk speakers and a sub). I love them, and they were only $30!

Yeah, I like them very much. They sound real good. I don't play games or watch movies on my puter but they make my iTunes sound very nice.

That is an interesting thought. I was looking and they have some of those at TigerDirect.com

5.1 sound systems or external soundcards?

i found quite a few good ones, but all of them only say they have drivers for PC's rather than macs. any suggestions/recommenations?

External sound card. I am pretty sure that at least one of them on that site said that it would work with Mac OS.

I bought that same 5.1 set for my girlfriend for her birthday. They were a great deal ($80 CAD on sale at Futureshop), but they sound splendid. Logitech's got a real winner with this set.

I bought quite a few Logitech speakers, some are quite boomy, but generally they are usually quite good.
