Dell/Altec Lansing ADA995 5.1 THX speaker system
Not sure whether anyone on here would be interested but would rather offer these at a bargain price to you lovely people than faff around elsewhere...anyway, I never used the 5.1 capabilities and I have hardly used the speakers for quite a while, but these are superb quality. Built by Altec Lansing for Dell, they came with my old PC in 2004. They're built like a brick shithouse so will last forever. Amazing for a surround sound gaming experience, but I just use my PS3 these days...they're in almost new condition too.
The caveats are that they can only really be connected to a PC soundcard for full 5.1 (they have the green black and yellow jack connectors) unless you know something about adapters etc. I don't. Of course they can be used 2.1 with any source really. Also this setup is heavy, I mean really heavy, no way would you be able to cycle with the subwoofer! So its collection only, and you'll need a car.
The good news is you can have them for £30. Tbh they're not worth a huge amount 2nd hand these days but sound quality is comparable to Logitech's £200+ offerings. They are now taking up too much room and I want rid!

Oh and here's a link to a thread on avforums, selling a set earlier this year, for the princely sum of £55!! http://www.avforums.com/forums/speaker-subwoofer-classified-adverts/937101-sale-altec-lansing-ada995-5-1-surround-pc-multimedia-speakers-large-sub.html
