Altec Lancing VS3251 + Xonar DX is also a gud combo to consider. But if u hav the budget for FX5051 then buy it without any doubt, and buy a sound card any sooner or later as u hav mentioned above.
VS3251 are the saddest 5.1 speakers ever! they sound worse than Intex 5.1, im not kidding.

Quote:

# Type: 5.1 Surround speakers (USB & analog)
# Dimensions: 3.2" x 2.3" x 7" (satellite), 9.8" x 9.8" x 13." (subwoofer),
# Output: 48W (4x 12W) front/rear speakers, 13W center speaker, 28W subwoofer
# Driver size: 40mm mid-range, 18mm tweeter
# Response range: 30Hz - 20kHz
# S/N ratio: > 75dB
11k speakers with a total of only 80W rms? a Big No No.

Rather lay eyes on X-540 - 5.3k (70W rms)
Techgage - Logitech X-540 5.1 Speakers
.......................

Advantages of FX5051 over X-540:
1. SEXYYYYYYYYYYY DEEEEEEEEEPPPPPP BASSSSSSSS
2. Nice looks

Disadvantages:
1. Double the Price of X-540

.......................

Choice is urs. i wud again recommend X-540 only evn if u have a 11k budget. money shudnt be burnt uselessly. the product shud be worth the budget.


UPDATE: Yes, the USB soundcard of Altec FX5051 sux more than onboard audio. End of discussion, these speakers are for bass-maniacs ONLY.
