Hey all,
I'm not 100% sure if this is the right forum to post in about my query, if it isn't please don't hesitate in moving it to the right forum.

I'm in need of a good 5.1 Surround Sound system for my PC could you suggest the best one for me? I would like it to be not much more than £100 (~£150 being my absolute max). I'm not sure if I will need to upgrade my sound card for the system, but if I do need to upgrade my sound card which card should I go for (Dell Inspiron 545 ST)?

If you need any extra information please do ask;
Thanks so much,
Lawrence
 
the x-series os the logitech will fit in.

the z series is a no no

creative also makes some 5.1 setups, and are 'usually' checper then the logitechs.
 
Ahh, I got the G51's just before you replied. Are they any good?
 
well im not the guy u should relly be asking the only system that was from logitech was z-4 and the z-2300 and that was back in 2006 as well...
 


Thanks for the response :) I'll try and remember to let you guys know how the G51's perform.
