I use the standard small (about half a foot maybe) white ones. No need for anything bigger... or rather I should say no space because of my big screen. I would take pictures but you can hardly see them, and im too lazy.

WOW, nice, those things are crazy, but don't you think they are a bit of overkill for computer speakers? Anyways, one of those is only a little bit bigger than my guitar amp, although my guitar amp is wider and not as tall. It is a Fender Bluesville tube amp, and I absolutely love the sound. I actually bought two other amps (the newer microchip amps) and they pale in comparison to my Bluesville.

No room for any speakers for my comp, but I use a Plantronics Gamer Headset. The music and the sounds are spectacular for a headset, plus the game sounds doesn't keep the others in the house awake whenever I'm doing a late night session.

I use Creative Labs Sound Blaster...something something 2.1. Great sound, and considering my computer is my television and movie theater all in one, they are a good deal .

I use my old stereo receiver and speakers. They're nice ol' BOSE speakers with great bass and no buzz. The receiver has it's share of problems.. For a while it used to go from left to right, that is, until I hit it. Now it works perfectly.

I built a sub/sat system for PC use, here is a pic of the sats. These days there are plenty of commercial powered speakers; I'm just making use of an old receiver.

Labsenpai did you make those boxes? If so those are hot

For reference they are 42 inches tall and that is a 12 inch subwoofer in each one

Nothing too exciting here...I've got an Altec Lansing 5.1 system. Not the loudest out there, but it's decent surround sound.

Im pretty sure you worded that sentence wrong.... that sentence is saying that my speakers probably do make more sound than yours.
