So, long story short, a jackass robbed a store and the owner sold me these speakers (for like 10$) 'cause he stole the amplifier.  So now i'd like to buy one and make them work and also, if possible, to use them on my pc. Thank you

 

 

p.s. please take note i'm totally noob on this kind of stuff

Just look around for absolutely any 5.1 channel digital receiver you can find. See what you can find cheap and don't be afraid of buying second hand. You will be able to hook the speakers up to the receiver with standard speaker wire.

 

If you want to use it on your pc than make sure it has hdmi input so you can plug it into your motherboard and take advantage of all 5 speakers. I run the same setup on my pc with a 5.1 channel Samsung Receiver and corresponding speaker.

unfortunately second hand stuff here is not an option. i'd buy a cheap one on amazon but it looks like the ones with hdmi are not cheap. this is what i found http://www.amazon.it/Av2-H388-Amplificatore-Surround-Potenza-Ricavitore/dp/B0068MFIW4/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1425817413&sr=8-2and it is in my budget (150 euros)

Specs look great and could well enough handle the job.

 

Just curious about the one star review. What does it say (can't read Italian here)?

 

Edit: Doesn't look to have good reviews http://www.amazon.co.uk/product-reviews/B0068MFIW4

Should probably avoid it and continue hunting. I don't know how things are there in Italy but over here some electronics stores sell receivers for decent price so maybe look around there if possible.
