Computer Tech Question

[Mitchell]

Question for my friends on the forum who are more "Tech Savvy" than me.

I posted how earlier this week I bought a pre owned desktop after my laptop died. (Certified Pre Owned is what I mean)

Unlike a laptop, which has the speakers built into the system, this computer does not have a speaker system built in to the computer itself.

Thus, I was told that I have to buy speakers for the computer and attach them.

I was advised that speakers will cost anywhere from about $25 to $100.

Of course I know that price also means sound quality


I absolutely cant spend any more than $100 on speakers. The price for this computer was a ton of money already.

As I always like to think of "Compromise" I was hoping someone could recommend a speaker brand for perhaps $50 to $75

If anyone has any thoughts or advice on what I might look into or buy, I would appreciate it.

Thanks

Well, I'd need to know more about you computer. Is it Bluetooth or 5MM jack?

I honestly dont know. I'll look more into it.

Well. Actually. I misspoke. It's not a 5MM jack that's in computers, it's a 3.5MM, I should've said.

In the case of a Bluetooth system (it's rare, but I've had a computer like that), you can get cheep little Bluetooth speakers, but for the halfway decent ones, you'll be looking at spending a bit of cash.

In the, more standard, 3.5MM setup. You could use any old speakers you may have (most speakers are 3.5MM).

You could look for a monitor with speakers in them. That's what I use.

IMO you can go for cheaper ones if you don't intend to do any gaming. If you do though, I suggest you invest more because bad sound quality can really ruin a gamer's experience~

I've not saw a monitor with built-in speakers in years. Mich might find one at a pawn shop or maybe hit up some yard sells, but, I have a feeling they wouldn't have them at a store like Wal-Mart or Best Buy.

I just had a thought. Credit goes to TTH, for mentioning a monitor with speakers. Mitch, does your TV have a DVI or a spare HDMI slot?

I don't know your computer, but chances are you may be able to use your TV as a monitor and have built-in speakers.

Oh Yeah! Because his computer might have an HDMI Port.

Mitch, does your computer have something that looks like this on it?

Sorry for the late reply. I just saw your post.


To answer your question, teenticklehell, no it does not look like the picture you posted.

Hi Mitch! Could you maybe post some pic's of your PC ports. That way it'd be easier to help.
