Hi guys. I'm a student studying in the Uk and i recently got me a semi-decent rig

P4 3ghz wit EM64T with 2gb or Kingston Value RAm 22r3 667Mhz.
It's mobo is a Gigabyte Nforce4 SLI Intel Edition.
As it has Spdif out, i was thinking of getting me a set of digital speakers.

Now, personally i don;t know much about speakers but my old Altec Lansing ATP3 were decent. I want to step up to 5 speakers but dont have the money and the availability of Klispch's and Logitech Z5300s.

I was thinking initially of the Logitech X530 and the Inspire 5800 theu ebay.uk and thought i would buy a cheap 2nd hand Audigy2.

But someone convinced me that i should get a set of digital speakers. Know i know the higher end Megaworks and Logitech are digital but its way out of my budget. I have about 40-50 GBP. I was thinking of getting the Creative Cambridge 580 as it's available on cheap from ebay. I know it has a sucessor - Inspire 5700 Digital but its not available for that price.

Those are my ideas so far. I was wondering if u audiophiles can teach a noob here on what to get.

I will be mianly watching downloaded movies, watching streamed sports channel on it and quite constantly listening to mp3 and ocasisonal CD music. Beause i have a EVGA turbo edition 7900GT in it, i am by default required to play some games to get my 160 pounds worth of it but i have to say i would put gaming as the last in the list of things i will do most with the speakers.

Oh great gurus. Do enlighten me.

Which do i get? Or any other suggestions?

i am currently using the Creative Inspire 5700 speakers , managed to get them for £40 from ebay a few years ago ...great speakers for all things . Was thinking of getting some new speakers myself ...i hear the Logitech X - 540 are great value ..only £50 and they sound just as good as more expensive speakers . Also the Creative Inspire T6100 have recieved good reviews from most people ...not bad price at around £40 .

I`m not an expert though so just do plenty of checking and research before deciding , especially to find out if the speakers have the right connections you need and they will work with your system properly ...i have made a few errors with that over the years ..

A small, but annoying point. there is really no such thing as digital speakers really, what i am sure you mean is a speaker that comes with it's own decoder and amp combined.

i know it is not much but just in case you are looking for digital speakers there is no such thing and really getting some speakers with analogue connections would be equally good if not better depending on how good the speakers on decoder is compared to the onboard audio.
