With a computer I bought from Dell several years ago, I added an Altec set of speakers, four small ones and a big woofer which sets on the floor. Excelent! It is hooked into my current Dell desktop. Must be ten years old now.
I often listen to music on it when I am on the computer. Of course not comparable to my amplifier and speaker system with CD, VHS, DVD, monitor units but a spent more than a few bucks on that (too much, my wife insists).
