Looking at these makes me think of “The Drity Dozen”

“…Very pretty General, Very pretty. But can they fight?..”

22

Amazon lists them for $69.98.

Anyone have personal experience with these? Mostly good reviews there, just looking for another opinion.

23

$5 less

24

Not to be confused with the Mars Lander.

25

got one of these last time it was on woot for $49.99. It wouldn’t even turn on. So I went to Amazon.com to read reviews, and found that others have had the same problem.

26

Great for the volcano fan. If you want a real stereo system, you are going to need at least 3 more than the 2.1s they give you here

is that lamp looking thing the bass??

Also, does this work with the netbooks? If so, how much extra battery life does it use?

30

I also did some price review. It appears that this is a good deal for the item. The reviewers also seem to like it. Google was selling these new for about 70-80ish

Sounds like you have a firewall that’s acting up.

That’s some pretty terrible acting. I guess he’s reading from a teleprompter somewhere far from the camera?

34

Do amazon links not work?

35

Cnet experts have it at a 3.5 star rating, but Cnet users only give it a 2.5

The Klipsch iFi 2.1’s that I got at Costco for $149 are still the standard. Amazing speakers…

37

They’re all working here. That sounds like a browser add-on or a firewall?

38

Does the high gloss plastic get fingerprint smudged easily?

39

OK, I see an input and an AUX Jack, but both look the same. Can someone explain the difference to me please?

As someone who is very energy-conscious and anal about not leaving on electronics unnecessarily, I don’t like how the power control is on the subwoofer. I’d keep it on the floor and wouldn’t want to have to reach down under my desk every time.
