Help with College Audio Setup

In a few days time I will be moving away from home and my glorious PC setup to a much more cramped environment. Because of this I cannot take my Sony stereo and large surround speakers with me. I have a headset but prefer to have options. My question is are there any pc speakers that you bros can recommend me that aren't crazy cheap (no more than 100 Canadia Dollars) and that will work? When I am up there and set up, I could post some pictures of how things look to give a better idea of my space requirements. Any help is appreciated!

Thats that. If you need to get in touch chances are you can find someone that knows me that can get in touch.

If you're in a dorm, don't get speakers unless you're a dick.

A good 2.1 speaker set might suit your needs... I won't recommend speakers in a dorm environment though... It might annoy some neighbors, especially if the walls are thin...

Yes, don't get speakers. Get two 12" subwoofers instead. Much more effective.

Ya I've lived in a dorm.  Get nice headphones instead.  Your not gonna get to actually use nice speakers.  Your never going to get the volume very high with out being told to shut it down.  Anything more than  a cheap pair of speakers is going to be a waste for you.

I think you should go for 2 channel monitors because of the cramped environment.M Audio Stereophile is the best you can get for the price it doesn't take much space and produces stellar sound quality that will put similarly priced 2.1s for shame.

I almost broke my monitor trying to get that bug.  Good one.
