Hey guys so ive got 100$ to spend on computer speakers which i will use mainly to play music on, but also youtube and movies. I listen to indie/rock music like the killers, queen, two doo cinema club. Ive posted a similar post but i think i posted it in the wrong section. im looking at 3 speakers now:
Creative Gigaworks T40 series II
Creative Inspire T3130
Logitech Z523
 
Firstly, which out of those will give the best sound for the type of music i listen to, and any other suggestions would be good too. And secondly, for the music i listen to, will i lose out on the Creative Gigaworks T40 due to it not having a subwoofer? 
Thanks

Tiny speakers often need a sub, or all you get is tiny bass.

Have you seen this CNET article on the Lepai t-amp and Dayton speakers: http://news.cnet.com/8301-13645_3-57439115-47/build-your-own-desktop-stereo-for-under-$70/. Later on you could expand this with a sub if you fell you need to. Here's some discussion on head-fi: http://www.head-fi.org/t/627161/my-very-low-budget-nearfield-desktop-rig-lepai-amp-and-dayton-audio-speakers

I just looked at that and am considering it minus the fact i have to learn  how to set it up. With the lepai t-amp and dayton speakers would i need a subwoofer or bass?

I would think for most rock, they would do pretty good for bass for what they cost

I can confirm this pairing can get very low and loud when it is called for.

yeaa ive read about the setup and have decided to get the one in the article, instead of the speaker systems i first mentioned. Now i just gotta find the Dayton Speakers that are sold in Malaysia. Shipping costs are too much :\
Thanks

Dayton is the house brand of partsexpress.com. You will likely need to find a different speaker in your region to keep the cost down.

I am currently looking in Dubai and UK for stores that may sell it as my uncles live there. Any suggestions for other bookshelf speakers as lowcost and good as daytons?

Sorry. I don't know what's available there. Try AVForums. The are a UK based home audio forum. They could probably make suggestions for low cost passive speakers in the UK to use with the Lepai amp.
